Default front turn signals, messed up

yeah, so i was gonna paint my turn signals all amber, so i went out and bought the krylon paint, but i blanked out and bought just normal plastic paint, which isn't transperent, and i painted em, so now im stuck with solid orange turn signals, which are more retarded than the OEM 95' ones. Now im down 5 bucks and have to order new turn signals. stupid retard. Pics to come...

Not long, and if you use like 600 grit paper, it might even polish the plastic a bit before the coat of clear stuff.

Yeah, I'll probably just do that, but I am lookin at new turn signals anyways, as the 94-97 style is hideous. the clear ones that you see on some integras, are those jsut the euro ones that you can buy on ebay for liek 11 bucks? or are they some JDM ones that are pricier?

also: does anyone knwo what size the screw is that connects the turn signals with the inside of the bumper? just the main one that you unscrew to take the entrie thing out.

probably, but once you get the paint off, you'll just have to move up to finer grits, and ultimately polish it to get it looking smooth and clear.

yeah, well to my embarrasment, here are pics of my horribly ruined turn signals. I bought 94 OEM ones of a buddy of mine for liek 5 bucks (paid for his lunch), and then bought the correct paint and painted them, they are now gorgeous.
