Painted Headlights

Wasn't sure where I wanted to put this thread, so I opted for the safe general route. Please move if needed

One thing that has bothered me about my aftermarket head lights is how much of the clear part of the light with a silver body underneath sticks out from the front of the truck.  The chrome part of the stock light housing made it look fine, but this clear made it look like it wasn't installed all the way.  So I did some painting to fix it.  A couple of coats of Bulldog Adhesion promoter and three coats of Krylon Fusion satin black and a lite top coat of Clear.

The stock aftermarket lights



Full front



The housing taped up in the "Paint Booth"


All painted up and installed.

What a difference something so little can make.

cardboard and duct tape, i like the high tech paint booth lol

thats wonderful idea neve thought of that i might do it to mine

That looks nice. It's amazing how just a little bit of work makes such a big difference.

that looks tits man, good job

That looks pretty slick, I really like how youve got your grille and e/t painted

Great looking job on the lights, it is amazing some little detail like that can make the truck look a lot better. Of course there are lots of people who would never notice something like that, but thats what makes a vehicle yours, when you add little detail touches like that. Good job

What thats the best kind of paint booth ever, I always do that. I actually have mine a little bigger and collapasible so that i can store it and use it again, its lasted me 2+years now and was free to make.

Looks pretty damned nice!

Good work!
