should have done a lens swap while you have it opened up that is if you plan on doing that after the paint dries. Otherwise it looks good as far as paint. Most members black out the housing. What are your plans for the amber part are you clearing them or keeping them amber?

You've already blacked out the housing (paint the whole headlight assembly).

You didn't paint the whole entire turn signal did you?

also, agree that you should do the ZKW-r clear lens upgrade

I would have advised against painting the whole turn signal reflector. Even with LED turn signals it's very hard to see during the day. I painted mine the first time too and I've had a few close calls because my turn signal wasn't visible enough. Looks good otherwise.

Painted signal reflectors + V3 Triton switchbacks + switchback side markets = no problem
