You can do them with Duplicolor Factory colors

Just use some adhesion promotor

I know they sell that at the parts store, but it comes in quart containers for spray guns. I think i remember seein somewhere you can get it in a aerosol can

I got my PTM paint at Autozone or Advanced. It is a Duplicolor can that is "close" I've seen it sprayed and it really isn't different at all. It's like $12 a can

Are you taking plenty of pics for a how to when you get finished?

Re: Jeff's Retrofit Thread

Yep!

Won't for the painting part. Just because the thread in the OP goes step by step on it.

But I'll do a how to for this sight on it too

Re: Jeff's Retrofit Thread

The Dremel tool parts kit came in today. Now just waiting on the Retrofit parts. They should be here tomorrow. I am going to try and get some work done tomorrow if they come in. I'm coming down with a nasty cold so hopefully I can fight that.

Here's a shot of the headlight shells
