Black headlights

I did this few months ago and figured I show them. Very easy to do. Bake and painted. Had no problems with seal so far Im just not a fan of chrome or vinyl tint. .

Never said I was the first and never said sss couldn't be done. Just felt throwing the idea out there for those who are not aware. Much better look over chrome(to me). Also wasnt tryin double on your post, but how many times have you seen separate show and shine builds threads. Which don't bug me. To me show and shine is more individual. You know the other day was the first time I saw a other ralliart(rotorglow) since had the car for two years now. Same car but such different look between the two and not just the color.

Its seriuosly not to bad. I was intimidated at first but just take your time. Check this out for a reference. Note: I only baked them at. 210*F-220*F.http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/Bake.pdf.I randomly found this and helped me. For paint I used krlon fusion plastic paint semi gloss and clear coated with krlon fusion clear as well.
