Update:
Donnie has received four money orders so far, and those eyelids will be sent out tomorrow. He was in the process of moving and sends his apologies for the delay.

I would like to point out that you guys should really focus on the clear coating. Remember, these are on the front of your cars, so they will see debris in various sort.

In a two stage paint (basecoat/clearcoat) process, the base coat is for color only, the clear is what will supply the gloss and protection. It is to be sprayed until it is uniformly coated, but don't go overboard.... you can only have a certian MIL thickness of primer, base and clear in the end and still have a durable product. Spray too much and it'll take a bit longer to fully cure and easier to chip in the long run. I would also spray a let down panel, so you know how many coats of base coat it'll take to match your existing paint.

I try to spray as little primer and base coat to allow the bulk of the total amount sprayed to be clear coat. That way you can spray more clear for added depth and ability to cut and buff it to an absolute mirror.

I painted my eyebrows on my headlight lense. After "cutting and buffing", you can't even feel where the paint starts and the paint ends

idahosvtc, that sucks! He knows you are sending him another MO., so I'm sure he'll have your set ready when he receives payment.

Thanks Swazo for your comments on painting/clearcoating!

I last contacted Robyn on the 7th of November, she advised me that Donnie was sending the eyelids out the next day.
I would think that in those 9 days we should have started to received them.
I'll write to her tomorrow and inquire again. Let ya know what I find out.

Well, I wrote to Robyn right after typing the above post and asked her to let me know which sets of eyelids were sent and when they were sent. I haven't received an answer.
Now what? Anyone have any suggestions?
