The chrome part of the headlight is removeable from the rest of the lighting portion. That's how 1028 can *just* paint the black part.

I think you should smoke the lense while you have it cracked open. [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

I'm going to do my lights this weekend. As for the paint, I was thinking about just go to Can Tire. But what kind of paint specifically.
Should I use a primer, clearcoat, etc. Any details would be great.
