don't tell him that....

it is impossible to get the color you want, and black would look like crap. pm me for my address for shipping

went to advance, pepboys, napa, walmart.. checked all the books, that paint is not offered in spray.. duplicolor has it listed on teh website, but its not in the computers or the book at all the stores... closest thing to it is a light champagne metallic... so i might try that.. its very similiar just a little lighter.. 5$ vs 30$ i vote 5$..

I got this man covered. I wanna see these bad boys done and painted correctly.

He will have 4 12oz cans of this color shipped out by me for the price of what one would probably cost him some where else. He helped me out a LONG time ago when I first got my car. Don't remember with what. But I remember his old user name. Amazing how helping out can save your ass in the long run.

I will mix up that color today and get those badboys pumped into cans for ya. Too much work you put into these to see you have to paint them black.

It is on its way. Taking longer than I though. Should be there today. I really should have sent a tracking number. Keep us updated duder.

on lunch break right now and lookey what made its way to my door!! defenitely gonna take my time and do a bunch of light coats before i clear.. i sprayed the inside of my trashcan lid to see the color, and it looks perfect... i especially liked the invoice included showing what it would have cost me as a walk in customer... NEON owners > all

kornholio788 · Post by **kornholio788** » Wed Jul 30, 2008 4:40 pm

Haha. Glad you liked it man. And glad it got there safe. Get them bitches painted up I am excited to see them.

And yes. Neon owners > all!!

Amazing what a neon owner will do for another eh?

ya know, ive had these fog deletes sitting in a closet forever cuz im just been lazy and havent installed yet.. soooo i said what the hell.. gonna colormatch those too.. making progress, almost ready for a few coats of paint.. i threw a couple more layers of primer on there for good measure.. gonna go slow and light and do the fog deletes first to see how it comes out.. shouldnt be too hard to get en even coat.. knock on wood...

im hoping to get them painted and cleared tonite. waiting for the primer to dry..

cgneon · Post by **cgneon** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 6:22 pm

first coat of paint, i think i may just do one more for good measure.. making sure it matches the car then time to clear..

Fuzzyneon · Post by **Fuzzyneon** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 6:48 pm

cgneon · Post by **cgneon** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 6:49 pm

2 more coats... waiting to dry then clear, i think they have to sit awhile though, like an hour, so i'll try and do em if the rain stays away...

cgneon · Post by **cgneon** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 9:27 pm

sorry guys, was goin to clear tonite but it decided to pour outside so hopefully i can do em tommorrow in the shade. as long as its not too humid.. but south florida summer's a bitch... i gotta be careful or else it could haze em... "so says the spray can anyway"

kornholio788 · Post by **kornholio788** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 9:03 am

Shorty ones would of looked better on the 00-02 headlights. The curve of the ones you did only work well with 03+ IMO.

But damn they came out great though, curious to see what it looks like on the car...

cgneon · Post by **cgneon** » Sat Aug 02, 2008 8:10 pm

ya know, ive read that general consensus a bunch of times that the s dont look good on 00-02, but i dont understand why, the only diff is the turn signal is outside the headlight.. i did however contemplate doin shorties at first, and decided that i'd try these cuz i like the s better, but at least if it doesnt flow like thought i can turn em into shortie fairly easy..

cgneon · Post by **cgneon** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 11:52 am

installed!! along with the color matched fog deletes, but its hard to see those..

MY THANKS!!!! to all those who helped me in this process, it may seem like a small project, but it took awhile , but came out awesome, thanks to everyone from the first questions about glassing, to the custom paint that made the final product possible.. this site fucking rocks!!!!!!!!!! 2GN > ALL
