Do not spray that crap in the house....just a friendly warning.

Dykem is messy,I found that Krylon X-Metals red works better,sparys on clear red and it wont eat your lungs.....

X metals clouds plastic lenses though and gives it a extreme matte finish.

I'm sure it does but we are talking about glass........

Here's a few sprayed with Krylon X-metal.

That looks good in the picture, does the Krylon X metal go on smooth with an even finish.  Dykem always use to give me light and dark areas and was hard to spray and ran if you were not real careful. I can not tell in your picture how even it is but it seams to look even.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

yes,the pics dont do it any justice.I know what you mean about dykem,the krylon does not pool like that. It's also a "high" temp paint so I spray it on the inside of the lens to keep it from getting scratched.

I use the liquid kind.  steer clear of the spray.

That looks sweet Ultramag.  Can you get that stuff at any hardware store?

When I use Dykem.  I heat up the lens with a hair drier first.  It help to dry it faster and keeps it from running.

Good tip Swarter thank you for sharing that..


I don't have to tell you this but....Make sure you wear some rubber gloves when you brush it on for obvious reasons..

if you do get it on you acetone that your wife uses to take finger nail polish off should get it off.  we have dykem remover here at work so I use that.
