Looking For HOW TO On Headlight Painting
I searched for 10 minutes. Found lots of instructions, some didn't have pictures, some didn't say just what to paint, some just sucked. Where can I find some good instructions? 2005 Civic coupe. I'm mostly worried about how the paint is going to affect the reflective properties of the headlight. They're engineered a certain way for maximum light output.

Take a look at some of the people who posted in that thread. Most have 04 and 05 civics.
Like Akutenshi for example

Rep Power: 0 Alright, so I understand how I could do this - but I don't know if BLACK is going to look good on my red civic. How do you think it would look if I "redded" my headlights out instead of "blacking" them out? I think I'd like to paint them red to match my stock color, keep it flush and clean looking. I can get the exact color of my stock red so it will match. How do you guys think it would look?

Good call, that red on red is ugly as febuggady. Then again if you have $400,000 to spend on a car you can probably pay enough people to tell you it looks good that you believe it.
