advice would be, shove the can in a jug of hot water, to the paint inside breaks down,
i found it easier to spray and it doesnt drip or overspray much

kenny bro always love ya crx brudda :)
Hey guys,
I was thinking of spraying my DC2 corners amber (but the inside). How many of you have sprayed the inside of your corners and how have they held up?
I know that if you spray the outside they go bad pretty quick, but I'm more interested on the inside.
newmski how's your eg's corners holding up?
Thanks guys let me know!
Hey man, did the inside of my corners, holding up great! No fading etc.
No clear coat or anything, just the lense dye.
Give it a good, should work out a treat :D
Sounds good! That's what I wanted to hear. I've seen wayyy to many faded ones (painted on the outside). I was planning on picking some dye up tomorrow - What brand did you use? And how long have you had?
I'll do a write up for the DC2. Any other input from anyone would be great! If possible state how long you've had it done for and brand of tint!
Now... Gotta figure out how to open the lenses without breaking them! Thanks for your reply!
Hey all, i've got the same problem. Sprayed on too much and it came out red. (Painted the inside) I tried to sand it off, but no luck. This is the results.
HELP PLEASE!

Tips for anyone doing this - LIGHT COATS = LIGHT COATS! AS IT DRIES, IT GETS DARKER!
Any idea how to remove it? I've tried Methylated spirits and acetone with no luck. Where would i get suitable petrol from? I haven't tried petrol yet... What do you mean by petrol exactly? Pour it on, let it sink in and scrub it off? The problem I'm having is the shape of the surface (wavy), makes it hard to sand off in-between the dips.
