I found the krylon stained glass at michaels its on a small little can they are not available on the normal size cans and it was for 10 dlls and did my high beams snd foglights under 30 minutes
M3Alpine, that was months ago. sometimes someone has to say something to the noobs. did you catch the part where the guy tried to spray his fog lights with regular yellow spray paint, instead of the glass paint? he clearly didn't read the thread, and that's just annoying for everyone.
edit: i hear what you are saying, maybe i was being a jerk. but am i so wrong to try to give some direction to people who are painting their fogs with what's essentially latex paint? they need all the help they can get ..

I agree with that... but your post was just condescending IMO.

Anyone use the Dupli-Color Metalcast Yellow instead of the Krylon? The Dupli-Color comes in a full size can and is much easier to find then the Krylon.
Is it meant for glass? I say you buy a can, give it a shot, let us know how it works.
I have an extra can unused if anyone needs it.
It works well but not as deep yellow as the Krylon
here is an example on E30 lights
You still can find some of the Krylon yellow at Micheal on special @ $6.99
Here are my fogs and city lights with 2 coats of Krylon

Ended up ordering a can of Dupli-Color Metalcast Yellow from O'Reilly Auto Parts for $8.xx and used it on my Scrapyard Depo's. It was way easier to find then the Krylon. I love the result and can't imagine the Krylon would have been much better. The Dupli-Color also comes in a 11oz Can and has a fantastic adjustable nozzle. It also claims it can withstand temperatures of 500-degrees which would be great for people with HID fogs.
I ended up letting them sit for a while and did a couple more coats which darkened them up a bit. [Sun was reflecting on the right fog light.]
What was really cool is I sent Krylon an email asking what was up with the Stained Glass Paint. I informed them I went to all the stores around me which their site lists as an Authorized Dealer of Krylon paint products and had no luck buying or ordering the Stained Glass paint. They sent me a return email the next day listing some websites which they (Incorrectly) claim sell the specific paint and offered to send me a Free Can for my trouble! So I was thinking since I have some extra fogs, I'll compare the two products once I receive it.

^The color looks good to me...identical to the Krylon it seems, and definitely deeper than the yellow Lamin-x.
I think I need to re-coat my fogs. The paint will eventually become pitted from road debris/sand, so it might be wise to put some clear Lamin-x on top.
I pulled mine apart to spary the insides of mine that I originally bought as "yellow glass" which ended up peeling from HID's on the inside, We'll see how it holds up after I get my wheels rebuilt and drive the car again to see if it holds up.
I have Krylon on the inside of my lenses, we'll see how they hold up in my HID situation.

Got the can of Krylon Stained Glass today. I can post pictures of the Dupli-Color vs Krylon Fog if someone Really wants - But I feel its pointless as they both turned out looking identical.. Overall though, I think the Dupli-color Metalcast is superior to the Krylon.
1. Full size spray can.
2. Great adjustable Even-Spray nozzle.
3. Costs about the same.
4. Claims to withstand 500ºF.
5. Drys Way Faster then the Krylon.
6. Much easier to find in-stores.
I’m curious since so time has passed and I’m sure that more people have done this, which one do you folks recommend? The Krylon Stained Glass or Duplicolor Metal Cast.
I just wanted to post an update with my experience. I used the Duplicolor Metalcast and the fog lights turned out amazing in my opinion. In fact, I ended up getting a pair of yellow glass lense fog lights in a package deal from someone and I prefer the ones that I painted. Not for just looks either. When driving at night they light things up a lot better.
