Spray Paint Krylon or Duplicolor?

[crossfire]

I removed them and painted behind them black. Some people keep the strips in and some people opt to just kep the amber strip on the corner light. You can also get clear strips, harder to find though. I either use engine enamel or high temp paint. I used pretty much all the brands from du pont, rustoleum, VHT, and others and they are all about the same when it comes to blackhousing head lights. If you were spray painting exterior items or painting a vehicle it would be different. Any of the brands they sell at auto parts stores should do fine as long as they are high temp paint

Did you use the same high temp paint there or a black chrome?

All same high temp. I removed the strip light bulb also so it doesn't light up

Alright I like how it looks. I'm debating between the setup you have or a white ccfl in the parking light.

What about VHT Flameproof? I have 2 cans of primer flat black
and clear coat. I contacted VHT and they didn't recommend it because they say the paint needs to be bake to reach optimal durability.

That's what I used came out great

I didn't paint the reflector side for the turn signals. But they really do look sharp

Those look great! Do you have any tips on masking off the turn signal reflector? I've never been very successful masking even with frog tape or blue tape.

I'm planning on masking the turn reflectors and painting them a black chrome.

I just used the comic section of the newspaper that sucked anyway and some blue tape. Took me about 5 mins to mask it off perfectly. Don't do the turn signals a metalic color I just did mine purple metalic, such a nightmare. I miss my matte black ones.

I was thinking of doing this since my headlights are already apart for my upcoming retrofit. My headlights are different colors on the back, one is white and other is black. Do I need to sand the back in order to paint? They are plastic.

The white one came out of a 99 accord and I'm not sure what year the black one came out of. I plan on painting the chrome inside to black though.
