Yep. That is the one that I used for mine. 20 bucks a can. Just need clear coat as the color match is just a base coat.

I know they come primed ready for paint but did anybody sand them dowm before hitting it with the spray can? :dontknow:

I sanded. Primed. Wet sanded. Basecoat. Wet sanded. Clearcoat. They came out pretty decent for a rattle can.

Do the rattle cans come with any flex agent in them? Just a little worried that I may crack the paint while sticking the eyelids on the lens.

Here are mine, painted on to the lens. Cleaned with alcohol, sprayed a light coat of primer, 3 light coats of Krylon Fusion rattle can (the stuff most people use to do bhlm), 2 light coats of clear coat. been done for about 2 years now. No fading, no chipping off etc. :top:

I did. I sanded them, primered them, base coat, then clear coat.

This is where I bought my paint. It's a little pricey, but I have painted several plastic parts that flex a bit. I have been happy with it. No problems.
