  • :?: Possible headlight painting??

    Sooo, I've been thinking about painting my headlights, but I'm unsure... do you guys think it would be to much or what? Also thought about grills around the foglights color matched to the car of course!

    Leave the grills alone and paint the healdights black. All that will tie in nicely with your wheels. I think painintg anthing more body colro would over do the exterior. With the wheels being balck and allot of parts black on the car-- your accesory colro should be black, not red. Your car with blakc painted lights would look mean as hell!

        I was acctually thinking about that too.... I saw it on a friend of mines camaro (silver paint, black rims, black painted headlights) looked pretty good. You do make a convincing point though about the accessories and grills being black and matching up with them and not the body color!! Kudos to you, now lets see if anyone else agrees or disagrees lol

          I agree, I like the contrast of the black on red. If you make everything Red you'll lose the effect. If anything I would go with the painting the headlights black to match the rims. That's just my opinion. Great looking car.

            Here's an idea for ya...

            Paint the inteiror of teh ehadlgihts black (getting rid of all th chrome) and design some type of "Eyelid" onthe car using the body color red.... now that'd look prety damn tight!

            Lety me whip out my handy dandy advanced phot chopping program (MS Paint) and do it up for ya...lol.

            Edit:

            If oyu look past the shiznity job.. I think it looks hot as hell, man!!!!



            Oneother thing I would do it paint the grill sourounds black.

              so loose all the chrome in the light, or leave a little chrome as in where the light projects... I was to leave some chrome to match the trim around doors, the machined lip of rims (even tho its not "chrome") and the grill moldings!
              But I'm definatly thinkin of blacking out the headlights.. I think imma start on it tomarrow, but I have to do it basically all inside because its freeeeeezing here in NY now!

                I didnt mean black out in the sense but painting the chrome black... one more thing, the mirrors?!?! Leave black as some more accent color or change to red?

                  Leave it black- ties the widnow tint and visors together better. If oyu WANTED toapint them.. gloss black would look hot.

                  I didn't relaize youhad the chrome molding, lol. Yeha, leave the grill, and when youpull the headlights apart, you'llhave the part that house the bulbs seperate.. leave that chome, and paint the rest black (GLOSS black). You'll wanna remove the orage reflector, too.

                  I have another idea for ya.. lemme go back to my super fly fansie ass expensive photoshoping program...

                  Edit:

                  Here it is.. now THIS looks even hotter, man!



                  The three horizontal "bars" that go across.. paint the outer face of them body color. That would look badass!!

                        I was definitely having trouble visualizing the black headlights. Once again Thanks to CoupeOfG6. Looks pretty bad ass though with the black.

                            Black looks mean as hell. Body color looks cleaner/smoother.
