Okay so I am in the process of painting a set of cobalt headlights in a victory red color.
here is how far i have come. All i need to do is primer, paint, clearcoat, and seal one light, the other light is finished and i still have to seal it.

I also made eyelids painted on the outside just incase i didnt like them i could paint thinner them off)

Should have used the oven but mom didnt let me lol


with lens off





the headlight assy


all sanded ready for primer



high temp primer


painted with lens, eyelid but not yet sealed

 

Looks good!!

Where are the pics on the car?

 

when the second one is finished i'll install them both at the same time, as we speak the primer is drying on the d/s headlight and the sealer is drying on the p/s headlight

these are the "test" pics of them on the car, i didnt leave them on i just put them in to see how well the paint matched, and what do you know. it actually did. i still have a little more touching up to do but nothing major

 

damn looks good

 

thank you, thank you. i am thinking about making another set and trying to sell it, but which color i dont know

 

yellow lol

 

i could if you would be interested

 

I would definatly be interestated. I got stage 2 on the way and need to pay for a few other things first but in a month I would be down. How much would they be? Rough estimate?

 

i have a spare set at home so what i would do it make the color you wanted,

 

That sounds pretty good. Yeah, Got the first new car payment coming and have a few other bills to pay and after a couple paychecks I should have more than enough for it. Ill keep in touch and PM you for whats the best time for you.

 

More pics of your headlights please.

I'd like to see some pics from a distance.

 

i took it off the car, because im only kinda done with one (still have touching up to do), and the sealant was not 100% dry. and i didnt want to leave on one painted headlight and one not i'll get more up w/e i decide to finish the other one(im going on vacation this week)

 

This is what I want to do next, but I'm scared i won't seal them right and they'd get condensation in them. Good Job on the lights!!

 

what i would do if i were you is be very generous with the sealer, imo a caulking gun would work best
