I have a NBP TL-S and this weekend im going to clear the headlights and maybe black them out. What does everyone think would look better on my black car. Blacked out and clear or just cleared out?

 

for NBP definately clear + black out IMO.

check this out bro, shiffy's NBP TL with blacked out headlights... he posted it about a week back, i think it looks awesome!

hey thanks for the comments bro!

Darkfox- I definately think you should black them out!

 

alrite!, i decided im going to black them out. How should i prep/paint etc the chrome piece, i want to make sure i do it right.

 

just wipe the chrome piece with a cloth to remove dust or anything and then just spay it. Just make sure you make sure it is totally dry before putting the headlights back together.

edit: Oh and the one thing you must do when you finish is Take and Post pictures.

 

black em out! NOW!

 

haha finally new avatar i see?

no prob! and good info even though im not going to black out mine (too bad it doesnt look too good with light-color cars )

 

Is it only me or does those blacked-out lights remind you of...

 

Your not the 1st person to say that. But, I think it looks pretty cool blacked out.

 

i heard the best black paint to use was the bbq paint u can buy at autozone/pepboys etc b/c it has a 1200 temp withstand. do i need to add a clear coat spray or anything like that or is the black paint good enough.

 

I would clear and black them out. Instead of using regular black paint, try the testors black pearl paint #1813. At least that's what i'm doing to mine. That and using clear diffusers.

 

where can i get the testors black pearl paint?

 

You can get it at walmart or any hobby shop. You don't need high temp paint for your headlights.

 

yea use a reflective black paint or a clearcoat afterwards. black or clear either way you cant lose. lol Acura gave me an impala as a rental before, it actually has way more room in it, then again its slow and heavy.

 

Blackout Definetly

 

do it BODY COLORED!

 

i would paint it FRP to match my paint but i like the chrome...hey mike dont forget to buy some silicone sealant. 2 tubes while ur out gettin paint

 

In all honesty that may look better than being blacked-out.

 

body colored eh? hmm the only thing is i dont like the way the nbp looks in direct sunlight.

 

also do i need a high temp paint thats like 1200degree res. Some people say yes, some say no, which one is it?

 

no. it doesnt get hot enough to do any thing. to the paint (a car sitting baking in the sun gets hotter) paint is stronger than most think. regular paint can be painted on a engine and withstand those temps.

 

if you dont like the way it looks why did you buy a car that color?

 

on the car its fine in direct sunlight, but i dont think it would look good when its on the highlights also.

 

it would be just like the a-spec. body colores in the headlights is awsome looking

 

where could i pick up paint that matchs our body then
