Painted a set of Stock headlights. check em
My buddy bought those Euro style headlights for his cobalt, which is just the stock lights blacked out. So i grabbed his stockers and thought about painting the inside yellow like a Vette. Seen a pic and it was alright, but not as good as I wanted it to look.
Was not a huge fan of the black lights on yellow cars cause I thought they stood out too much, and I even sold a set of Gen 2 CCFL lights a few months. Well I decided to paint these gloss black to see how they looked. I LOVE them. Even threw a couple coats of nightshades over the reflectors. Matches that black highrise I got, was a nice project on my day off that went smoothly for the most part. Lots of baking and such but and takes at least 6 hours from start to finish (including drying time) and more drying time the better of course, i kinda rushed it but luckily didnt run into problems. Anyways, check em.





test fit


Finished





With High-rise on



Let me know what you think

No rattle spray can job in an attic when its humid as hell will ever be 100% perfect and you got to deal with that. Thats why they sell the same **** for like 200 bucks. If you take your time you can do a pretty decent job. Im happy with the way they turned out in the end. Luckily didnt get any hairs in it half way through lol. I hate when that happensThanks bro

Your not lying. I put them in and i was like wow they look pretty good. i walked in the house to grab something, walked out and was like...holy ****. From a distance it looks really mean. lol. with no headlights on they just look tinted. like blacked out lights. And they look pretty nuts.

Looks nice. I did the sidemarker all Niteshade on my wife's 2.2. Looks nice man. I did body-matched headlights on my old yellow ss/sc. Not as great as I expected.
