We can give it a try.....easy. We need the smoking paint spray can, newspaper, and some masking tape! SurfinTower20BC knows how to do it well.

For those of you painting trim pieces, I'll bring some of the extra sandpaper I have so you can sand them down pre-primer so you have extra smooth surface for the primer. Plus it looks hella super nice when ur done.

I never stated primer as a necessary item. Primer is not needed, it's only used if you are trying to cover tiny scratches on your trim pieces.

Don't buy the primer. I've painted trim pieces without primer and it came out smoother...trust me

aiite i'll be there from 11am-2pm to help those guys out with their headlights. I highly suggest whoever is doing the "jdm" style headlights first go out and get wet sand paper also to sand down the chrome.

haha....i can HELP you do them, but if you do some of it also then it will be a good learning experience. Not on aim much so heres what you need.

JDM STYLE HEADLIGHTS(the ones i have and the ones i did for Surfintower(trong))

-Heatgun
-WetSand Paper(60cents or so each sheet at home depot)
-Sillicone(clear type)
-Flat Head
-bucket of water
-masking tape
-high temp paint(do not get krylon brand!) I used flat black, but use whatever you like.
-i also primered mine before but some people say you dont need it or whatever so its up to you i guess.

Thats basically all you need.
