Itinerant Air-Cooled

small commercial for this duplicolor metalcast.
I needed a red 6v sealed beam for my third brake light. Unfortunatley they are going for $40+ on ebay.
I found a clear one for 6 bucks shipped then used this paint on it - 8 coats and it looks identical to the red 12v beam i was replacing.
Goes on really smooth no drips etc..

Seems like it would work great for recoloring any lenses.

Very nice, does it give you good translucency or does it diminish the lumens rapidly as the coats come on? What other colors are available? I'd like to do dash lights BMW orange without killing the illumination.

Cool zabo! I love mods like that!

I made my dash light retro green. Just don't get more than 2 lumens each, or they're too bright even when dimmed.

great translucency and looks like a red bulb not pinkish or anything.
They do offer orange- I found it at autozone.
