You can use high temp paint OR you can use krylon fusion, Duplicolor, Rustoleum, etc. Make sure you apply 3 coats of each (primer, base coat, and clear coat) and you should be good.

Gotta correct myself. With the Krylon Fusion, you don't need primer. Just spray it on, sand it in between coats and clear it. Easiest out of the three to use. Looks pretty good too. Here's a pic of one of my earlier designs:
This is NOT what it looks like now though....

Yup, here's a couple more pics:
If you mean the sidemarker than all I did was scuff it up with some 800 grit wet/dry sandpaper, primed it with some Duplicolor Adhesive Promoter and painted it.
Also, if your gonna use Krylon Fusion than you don't have to sand it at all. Just spray it and finish it with some clear coat. Easy as pie.

I went way darker with mine but it was easy. Front and rear was a 3 hour job not including dry time. Im not sure the brand of paint my buddy used but we learned not to use reducer in it. Thinner works better and wont cause that spider web like cracking that reducer can do to plastic.

Thanks. I wasnt real excited about the gold color, looked like grandma's car. After some tint and painted lights it made a huge difference. Now gonna work on getting rims and doing the rain strips black like I saw on this forum.

Looking forward to seeing an update man. You should make a build thread or something. It'll be a nice change of pace on this forum.

Wow thanks for all the replies.. Is it pretty simple to pull the HL assembly out and disassemble it??
I was also thinking of doing some Iron Man LEDs, but i hve found some that i believe i could flush mount, so they don't stick out like nipples..LOL..

As for the iron man. There's a LOT of things that can go wrong with that mod. Bulbs going out during the modification process. Or a few months down the line for example. Which is why I didn't do it myself.
Yeah man, you can hit me up whenever you have any questions about this mod. I can walk you through the whole thing. It really isn't as hard as some make it out to be. You just have to be patient with it.
