HERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT, ALMOST EVERYONE I'VE SEEN ALWAYS DOES BLACK. HERE'S MINE COLOR MATCHED IVORY WHITE.

 

That looks f-in hot! I was definitely toying with the idea on my Millenium Jade, but ended up spraying with a flat gunmetal to match the grille.

So here's the next idea... What about color matching the grille? And what about the foglights?

Anyway, keep up the good work.

 

That is very nice. I like it. I think the pearl white is clean.

 

Looks GORGEOUS on Pearl white. My g/f's Accord has been repainted pearl white and even though it's rice, I still love the paint.

I'm a bit uneasy as to how it would look on a silver, tan, or green car.

Definitely two thumbs way way up.

Mine arent exactly "BLACK", I painted them to match the I35 grille. Kinda a gunmetal flake/satin.

 

White looks unique! Good thing my headlights already came color matched

 

Wow- that looks really nice.

 

Not too bad. Where did yo get those done at? Did they paint you stock headlights or just swap them out with painted lights?

 

Looks good.

 

i like it , by the way how do you drive with your rims tucked like that?

 

Bump! I have a question for those who have painted their headlights, judging from this pic:



It seems the trim(chrome cover) is attached to the lens (plastic lens)? How did you get it apart to paint?

 

Look at the backside of the lens/chrome cover. There are two phillips screws on the bottom.

 

I want to do this for my green G35, but I backed off thinking about what paint I could use to resist the heat. Anyone know?

 

I know a lot of people use regular old spray paint with out any problems. It does not get too hot in there.

I used High-temp engine enamel, but Im **** about stuff... and I doubt they would have a match for your paint off the shelf.

Just make sure to scuff the surface up a bit to give the paint something to hold on to and you'll be fine.

FYI, I did three or four coats.

 

i just had my bubby that paints cars use the stock qx1 paint

 

The G I have is more of an evergreen color. It's called emerald mist. I'm thinking I can find something really close to the color or just get some kind of shop to mix and can some up for me. I don't know. .I wish modding lights didn't have such potential for $$$ out the pocket for fawk ups.
