So I painted my Headlights Red to match the car, I really love the way they turned out! Take a look and tell me what u think:

 

Very nice. I want to do the same to mine, only Arrival Blue. I like how you painted everything but the reflector portion.

 

I really like that how intensive was it, could you do a how to?

 

Very nice! I want to do that to my headlights. I also want to paint my calipers. Turned out great.

 

I am sorry but you missed the exact color match of your car

 

If im not mistaken there is already a how to in the ..... "how to guide" section

 

Actullay, the lenses are tinted so it throws the color off a little bit. That is the factory color code 74U Dupont chromabase. Trust me, its the EXACT match!

 

Yes, I used the "How-to" that was already done, it was very helpful.

 

wow, great job.

 

wow, thats sick. nice job!

 

That's one benefit of have an '05. The lenses are not tinted.

 

Looks great.

 

Looks good,

It must have been a pain in the ass to get that crap appart.

 

here is the link to the how to for those of you that would like it

How to: Paint your headlights

 

Wow, looks good on red man. I remember back in october '05 when I did my yellow ss/sc headlights in yellow and left a ring around the lenses, looked hott. I sold them to a member on here when I traded my ss/sc in. I wonder what happened to them.......... Should be pictures in my gallery still.....

Again, good job killernutz. See you at the Dayton meet.

 

Where can you get the red paint to do this? Thats going to be my chore for this weekend.....

 

Looks good... With the new SS/SC I'm probably gonna be working on some cheap exterior mods first... so I'll put this on the list.

 

You are the man, dont listen to the haters, cant wait for a couple weeks when we hook it up for the blackness, Ill have to talk to you about some bulb choices and such, but Im hoping with your new found expertise, ha, we can make em look beautiful, good work though man!

 

damn, thats hot

 

nice one man, how long did it take to do this

 

Thanks guys, I really like them. To answer a few questions: The paint, u have 2 options 1.) Go to an Auto paint store and buy Dupont Chromabase code 74U, btw this is $60 a pint for red 2.) Go to your local parts store, by the spray can touch up paint by Dupli-Color, this is Code T400 for the large can of Victory Red. After doing this I would recommend the Spray can. Also make sure that u use the right primer, I used the wrong stuff at first and had to completely re-sand and repaint them. As far as sanding, 2000 works really well. This took me a while to do, but I also had to redo them, and when I redid them I put on 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of base, and 3 coats of clear. Any more questions feel free to ask me.

 

WOW! I have to say i realy like it a lot. I didn't think it would look good but damn that looks realy good. Nice job.

 

looking good

 

They look awesome man!

 

Looks nice!
