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.

Get automotive paint, don't trust Crap Tires.

i went to crappy tire and got engine matte paint
it worked really good...

AznSaint 10-02-2002 09:34 PM

....what about the paint colour from honda dealership? the colour that would match your car?? think that would work?

Quackers 10-02-2002 10:39 PM

if you wanna do black housing just use paint from crappy tire, don't go buying fancy stuff, thaz what i did...

WeSSoN 10-03-2002 08:43 AM

nice nice....okay finaly question....do u guys think it will be hard if I try to re-open them...I've already relesealed them already....so I dunno....

Quackers 10-03-2002 06:09 PM

no not really... because i had to re-open one of them cuz it started to condense from the inside... didn't seal it properly the first time....
