Can you paint just the bulb orange or do you have to color the entire casing as well?
Thanks

well decided to do it myself. Already have the lens off the housing. just a pain in the butt to take of the old silicone around the housing and lens though. Anyone know a quick or faster way to take it off besides baking it? any chemicals?

if you bake it for like 12 min it should pull right apart. I baked it at 225deg and after i pulled apart each tab it pulled apart. I pulled the corner of the headlight first and once that pulled apart everything else started to pull right apart.

make sure you use very light coats at a time on the lens. The tamiya paints drips very easily.

Don't waste the time doing it yourself or the money having it done by someone else.

evodave is by far the most experienced with these and has done hundreds of sets in multiple combo's and can give you every detail you want.

Now that he's back in the game I wouldn't think twice about who to send it to.

EvoDave does top notch work for sure but if you need them done relatively quickly don't send them to him right now. Let him catch up with what he already has. My room mate has been head and tail less for about a month now.
