Looking for someone to paint headlights...

Hey so I'm thinking about picking up a pair of headlights off the BM and would want to get them cleared and color matched to the car. Anyone on here willing to do this that has experience with this type of work? Let me know.

I did them, took me 3 days to take them off, bake them, sand the chrome off, prime and sand a couple times, paint them, coat them, dry them, bake them again, and put it all back together... i want to redo them tho, i need to clean out the inside a little more :P

... so gogo DIY.

Unfortunately, yes.

3days? People swapp engines in a few hours, come on bro, 2-3hrs the most!!!! Reguardless what you sand off, will end up getting covered, you just need to make sure the lens of the light is clean and that you seal it properly for no leaks.
