Just re did my eye lids, paint up top and niteshades on the very bottom. Came out real clean and changes the whole look of the car
Before

Lineing it up

Protection

sanded down

first coat, kinda looks like niteshades

A few coats later

Finished, the first time..notice the clear paint line, didnt like it and the paint blocked a little light out put, so sanded it down and moved the line up and added niteshades to the bottom portion

Finished now

someone should make a how to

I used the duplicolor color match paint and I went from the bottom of the hood to twhere the point of the headlight meets the fender

Sand paper is the basic 600, 800 1000, if you want 2000. You may need a higher grit to score the headlight plastic, I used 320 and it barely did anything, hence the reason I had to redo them. I had to scuff up the plastic more. Ill work on the pics when it gets a little darker, the suns reflection is killer right now

Im thinking about doing a how-to, but you can always send them to me and ill do it and you dont have to worry about the fumes

You should paint the headlight just nehind the lense, it will make it look better. I noticed the difference after I did it the first time, makes it look better(the clear part next to the adhesive)

+1 I prefer when it's more agressive than just straight like that

hey man im getting some supplies together to do this mod on my headlights, i was just wondering how many coats of each (black and clear) did you put on?

CASol

funny thing about the black, the first 3 coats just tints the lens(light still comes thru, so if thats what you want, stop at 3)If you want the area to be black then 4-5 for durability. Then I would put 3 coats clear for the washing and bugs

If you have a black car, paint behind the lense along the top, light will shine thru there and make it look bad during the day
