Headlight modification?

dmhenderson · 09-10-2012, 05:46 PM

I did get two awesome 98 cent oven mitts at walmart though.

Yes the walmart in Germantown (where I live) was where I just was. It looks like a bomb went off in it. Nothing is organized and they had a few cans of krylon fusion, but no satin black. No gloss black either.

dmhenderson · 09-10-2012, 06:15 PM

Is there another higher-end paint option that will work just as well? I have no problem paying more than $4 per can.

dmhenderson · 09-10-2012, 06:27 PM

I'm gonna try a few more places but if I can't find paint, I guess I'll have to tap out :/

I wouldnt go with anything outside of what the DIY says.. thats just me, I wouldnt chance that. What I'll do is, I'll find it for you on walmart.com, send you the link, you pay for it online, and the store will have it for you when you go to pick it up at the store.

Don't think there's enough time between now and Saturday for that unfortunately.

I use to work at best buy, and im pretty sure its the same, if you bought something online, to come pick it up, the warehouse employees pull it off the shelf and bring it to customer service within minutes.

eastwest2300 · 09-10-2012, 06:37 PM

Well I just did that, and unfortunately you cant pay for it online, but the store does have it in stock. Soooo I im not sure.

dmhenderson · 09-10-2012, 06:38 PM

What store? Flat out guarantee Germantown does not have it. I was just there.

dmhenderson · 09-10-2012, 06:41 PM

Right. It's not in Germantown and I've had bad experiences with that particular walmart (it's a warzone). They pull from shelves not in the back. I spoke with a manager today who told me they don't have anything other than what is on the shelves.

Like I said, I'll try a couple places tomorrow but if I can't find it, I'm out I guess.

eastwest2300 · 09-10-2012, 06:43 PM

Ok, you gotta do what you gotta do, if you can find it, great..if not... it sucks.

dmhenderson · 09-10-2012, 09:25 PM

Dunno what else to tell you. I had no idea it would be this hard to find.

b1adesofcha0s · 09-10-2012, 09:34 PM

They have a bunch of them at the Walmart across the street from my house. It's the Walmart super center in Severn.

dmhenderson · 09-10-2012, 09:43 PM

Again, I will pay whoever cash if you pick me up two cans of it. Hell, I'll give you a 10 and you can keep the change. I live in Germantown and my options are limited.

I can try to get into Rockville/Kensington over the next few days but it'd make my life a hell of a lot easier if someone is able to run next door and just pick me up a couple cans.

I'm bringing food/beer/heat gun/oven mitts/butyl sealant, flathead screwdriver and my dog.

b1adesofcha0s · 09-10-2012, 09:51 PM

I could get it for you, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna be there. If I do come, it certainly won't be at 8. Probably 10 or 11, but you guys probably won't be painting by then anyway.
