Painting Head Lights

I was wondering if there was anyone on here who could paint the stock head lights for me? I'd prefer local because shipping sucks and I won't be able to ship until winter hits because I need my car...

It takes about 8 hours including drying time, and sitting around waiting to apply coats time.

Well my only question is how hard is the step where you have to heat up the light to take it apart and having to put that back together, that's my only worry.

Its not that hard. Just heat it up, peel it apart. Scrape as much grey sealant out that you can, the more the better. Then when you seal it up, use TONS of Black silicone. Mine is sealed without condensation after over a year.

Alright, thanks. I guess I'll give it a shot.
