Ok, I need to know what type of paint and what color to use to paint the housing of the lights black. The reason why I am doing this is becasue I want the whole JDM look and don't want them cleared anymore so if anyone knows any info then let me know, thanks!

Chris and i used flat black spray paint for plastics (Home-Depot) because the high-heat turns out gunmetalish and we wanted a black look...plus the high-heat paint isnt that necessary

alright, thanks guys, I was thinking about using a flat black anyways because I thought the other kind would look to gleamy and I wanted it to look flat and not the shiny clear coat look to it!

are you putting the amber/reflector pieces back in??

 
Rep Power: 0

no, I was going to, but decided I just want the black housing and no amber piece, did you need the amber piece?

 
Rep Power: 0

no, you don't have to, but it looks more JDM with it in.

 
Rep Power: 448

no...just wondering what you were doing to them

ya I thought about putting them in to make it look more JDM like but I asked my friends and they liked the black housing w/out the amber piece so I decided not to put it in!

Come on Mike, just do it for the fun and adrenaline of racing your car! Don't you like being at a stop light and having another import/domestic next to you knowing that you will win or lose and then launching and shifting as you go faster and faster until somebody pulls! God I love street racing man, its such a good feeling, even if you lose, its still fun!

damn it, I f@#ked up on my right headlight. The other side looks hella good but my left side wouldn't recieve the paint good at all, so I have to re-do it tomorrow! I used flat black and it looks sick, thanks for letting me know the right color JT.

use bulldog paint adhesive before you apply the flat black to the headlights, it'll make the paint stick A LOT more.

Well I fixed the headlight tonight thank god I'm done because my hands are hurting. I think they look a lot better black than being cleared or stock IMO. Payce!

well its seems that my right headlight doesnt like me so i am going to get rid of it or bust the POS. The paint was fine after I re-did it but now after a couple days it started to crack on the left side and a little bit between the cracks. I think I am just going to buy the right side off ebay or something and hope it doesn't act retarded like the one I tried to paint twice!
