4kq lights painted... with pic!

[Roa, Greg]

Thanks Guys,
I must say, I do think it makes the car look a lot better.   A few
people that I have talked to haven't liked it, but the amber section
always looked kind of weird to me.

Anyhow, the turn signals still do light up amber.  They light up almost
exactly the same, just a hint more red to the color.

I'll let you know how the clear coat works on the spare lens I have.
I'll paint that, and make sure it's ok for a few days.
