Thumbs up Painted my headlights today

So what do you guys think? I followed the DIY write up and they turned out great. This is easy to do if you have a few extra hours one day or decide you don't want to go to your classes. LoL BTW I've been on this forum forever but never done a poll. Lets see if this works......

Blacking out the headlights is always an improvement. It looks great...especially on yellow!!

Cool, thanks guys. I need to take a pic with my hood down so that you can see the grill. It's the original RRM one painted black so it really looks good that way. It offsets the front end a little.

I assume the process would be similar for the tails. Hope it helps, good luck.

Good stuff man. I love the third choice on your poll: Is it suppose to look different? (as the girlfriend said)

That'd be something my wife would say. Hiliarious dude.

Thanks, Yeah it was gloss. I think the shinny stuff looks better than a flat, esp on headlights.

My GF is always like what did you do, I don't see anything different. When I changed my A/C lights she was like oh.... thats good. And I'm all like THAT'S GOOD! THAT'S FREAKIN AWESOME!. She's just not into the whole car sceene and always hates it when start working on my car. I guess b/c I tell her this will only take an hour and then I'm still doing stuff 3 hours later. Oh well, she hasn't left me yet. LoL

Yeah, sure. Shoot me an email sometime we'll hook up and I'd be more than happy to help. Which HEB? I use to go out to Naco and Anchor Marine off Green Mountian on the weekends a couple of years ago but pretty much stopped when my friends moved back to Dallas. I'm usually up in San Marcos with the GF on the weekends but if you ever want to help on your car or go cruise let me know.
