Krylon can sucks! - SRT Forums

BoostedBlue · 02-25-2005, 02:42 PM

so I was spraying my fogs this afternoon and everything was going fine until the cap started spraying bubbles and spiting the paint out so i was on my first light and it put so much paint on that i got all these drip marks and paint pits marks so i did the same thing to the other one and then let them dry for a little bit and then put water on them and dabbed them with a cloth. So now they look decent, you can't see the inside of the foglight anymore but is there anything that can remove the paint?

are you painting your fogs with paint? Are you painting your surround, or the light themselves?

Sorry the Mopar can-o-paint just flat out sucks.

BoostedBlue · 02-25-2005, 08:10 PM

yeah i was using the stained glass paint on my actual foglights

use paint thinner to get it off, DONT SAND you'll mar the foglights.

wash the paint thinner off the fogs, clean with rubbing alcohol, start again.

took me one fuckup to get mine right too, but they came out fine and blue as hell.

just a little (prob old too) trick ...

when using an aerosol paint can, get can good and hot before using.....

i've put can in really hot water for about 10 min.....increases pressure in can..
will not spatter as much....hope this helps next time!

you can also use some wd-40 to take the paint off... i had to do this when my fogs came out too blue.

Isnt there a warning on aerosol cans about avoiding heat? Because heating (increasing the pressure) will cause them to explode.

You should be fine as long as your not putting it in boiling water... usually the recommendation on aerosol is over 100F

wiould this stuff work for the tail lights too? That night shades is expensive. I just wnat to do the side markers and 3rd brake light to see hwo they look on my car.
Sorry for hi-jacking the thread-
On topic I would sudjest using very thin (almost not even visable some times) coats to cover the lights This will keep from bubbling or running and dripping

yep heat the can in hot water, best trick to get good spray

especially if it is cool out
