    Just thought i'd share, I bought a can of krylon yellow stained glass spray paint, took my foglights out and cleaned them with isopropyl and sprayed em. Here's how they turned out, not bad for about 20 mins of work and 10 bucks invested.

    Looks good. How durable is it? I'm assuming it will chip eventually...

    I like Lamin-X for durability, but it's hard to argue with cheap.

    I did the same thing, but used duplicolor.

    Before I put it on, I sprayed a clear chunk of plastic with the stuff, and let it dry.

    The next day, I hit with a rag, and some aircraft stripper.

    It cleaned off in about 30 seconds. I then cleaned it, and re-sprayed with no issues.

    Basically, if it chips, you can re-do it with about 10 minutes of work.

    The OP's car looks better, ignore my front bumper.

    Nice paint job, that color looks great!

    The paint isn't quite as nice as it looks in pictures, I'm pretty sure it's a maaco paint job cuz the jams are still silver and the paint is flaking in some spots and it's silver underneath haha. But the color was the main reason I bought this car since you don't see em this color very often if at all.
