Your gonna go on a painting spree!

One question what type of black did you use to paint the housings; metallic black, flat black or gloss black?

i used a flat primer with a flat base, then i did a gloss black, then a metallic black. lots and lots of paint, it is the same color as the grill. see the shiny stuff?

just do it, i really have to get used to having my entire grill smoked, its pretty cool because i have the mesh painted black and the chrome frame painted metallic black, its a nice contrst but i think the A symbol should be another color...

dont you currently have projectors? i definitely think the housing should be painted the accent color of the car instead of body color, its a nice difference

I sold them recently. going for a FX bi-xenon setup. I think gold will look too tacky for headlight housings.
