Cool MY Headlight Painting Project! (Pics)

Updated.... Before & after Photos and 2 Videos uploaded. I love the way they turned out, it looks so much better than stock & the color matched pretty well considering I'm no Pro!
I finally got around to painting my headlights after 4 years....Wow 4 years. Anyway I bought colored matched paint & sprayed them with a HVLP gun. The running/ blinker cover I sprayed with night shades, in these shots there are 2 coats of clear & I still have to airbrush the inside of the headlight area silver to match the car...then clear 2 more times.

Updated Install completed, Heres a couple of short Videos of what it looks like!
I still have to adjust the lights up a little but thats no big deal


Short vid...watch the reflection on the van when the blinker is on!


New Pictures in the sun!

TY, I still have a few things to do. The covers were easy just draw out what you want center it on the back side & use clear viques/ masking....then trace it out with a razor!
