I am in the process of painting my headlights. I failed at the clear corners so theyre tinted now..... I went with rustoleom metallic black and hi temp clear to prevent peeling. Let me know what you guys think of the color i wanted to see something else besides black or color matched and its close to my rims

 

they look good

 

now for the resealing .....ummmm

 

Looks nice, well done

 

looks a little grainy, probably didnt put a thick enough coat on. id sand and respray

 

metallic black sweetcheeks.

 

Said he went with a Metallic Black so that could be the light hitting it. IDK.

 

didnt see the metallic. sowwy

 

I like the tinted corners
What did you use to tint them?

 

def like them, nice change of pace...not hating on regular black but thats a little more unique i guess

 

tinted corners? Theres no tinted corners in those pics??


I'd like to see the lights actually on the car...they dont look bad

 

AWWWWWWWW you stole it lol.

I'm using that same stuff in my next project. I just got a TC upper grill and I'm waiting on the lower to come in the mail. I wont ruin the surprise but it's something more than a little different.

 

My bad
I thought he was talking about the signal housing.

 

ya the corners will be all black with an led behind them and the signals will have orange bulbs painted silver...

anyone got tips on making the clear corners i cant cut that **** it just cracks

 

Use Automotive GOOP from autozone To seal them! , its like 7 bucks in a red container... i've done 4 sets of headlights and used a few different types, and the Goop works the best, after i used the goop i never had a moisture problem... !!


Also i like the headlights, i'd like them blue tho :] i did mine Silver and i thought it looked awsome... i kinda miss them hah

 

damn you guys are making me want to paint mine. I need to get my plates legal on my bike so I can have a day or two to mess around with my car.
I did my interior trim metallic gray (matched my rims as well)
Looks good man. Whats everyone mean about the corners?

 

nub.

 

well i got clear corners made but theyre curing into place need jb weld around them tomorrow.....i touched some sealant on them so theres some black spots i gotta get off lol but tomorrow midday ill have pics of them back on car

i need to get a bike

 

new pics! waiting for sealant to dry... will be up and running in a hour or so

 

Looks good

 

i would love blue but laser blue isnt the easiest paint to just go get at autozone....gm charges like 15 just for the touch up pen no thanks on 25 a can or w/e

op updated

 

That's the same color I used on my first headlights! Midnight Black Metallic by Rustoleum

 

looks fresh man i want to do that to my whip to how long did it take you?

 

This car should have come w/ blacked out headlights from the factory.

 

24hrs exactly with laziness between it took forever to get the clear corners cause i have ocd...

i couldnt agree more...almost any color car looks better with black projectors and they sure as hell look better than the chrome
