Headlights I've been working on

Thought I'd make a thread where I can post some photos of headlights I've painted and worked on. Keep them all together and have them to show people

I'll update this probably once a week with new headlights

Tell me what you think!

2003 Acura TL
Colour Matched, Nighthawk blue metallic. If any honda guys know this colour it's really something to look at. Black at first glance but then you realize it's a crazy metallic blue.
Before

After

The colour





2009 Camry Hybrid
Before

After




And of course, a G. Gshock's to be exact.



On the go;

2009 Mercedes ML350, all reflectors and signals are being tinted black with autobody base cost and I'll be taking the bezels to the booth this week and colour matching them to Mercedes Black
Before




2008 G35 Sedan





2004 G coupe


2006 Projectors x 2




2006 350z Custom rarely done painted second signals. Popped the lenses out and then reinstalled. I never see anyone do this, also either leave it chrome or paint over the lenses.


After

As Sam said, I haven't had an issue with any leakage or condensation. I also warrant it, if you have a condensation leak or water somehow gets in I'll crack them open, clean them and reseal them with new silicone.

The shop charges $250, but I do it for much less for the G guys (clear lens swap as well) There is another local shop that does it (looks really shotty) and they charge $400
