Re: Headlights look FRESH! Check them out!

I think it looks good on any color but white brillant silver, and desert platinum. It looks the best on red/black.

Thanks - Joey Avino

afr0puff - I'm thinking about painting the inside with CB instead of black...I haven't had a chance to photoshop it yet, but I'm thinking it could look killer.

Re: Headlights look FRESH! Check them out!

When I made the blacked out headlights in PS, i tried CB also, but it was too damn hard getting the color to match. I think that would need to be seen in person to make an accurate judgement. If you do get something decent on the computer, let me know how it looks!

Re: Headlights look FRESH! Check them out!

Looks good, I was thinking about doing the same and the grill too. BTW, did you use flat black or glossy balck paint? how much would you charge to do it?

Re: Headlights look FRESH! Check them out!

Flat black, I could have made it glossy if I clear coated it but I think that would be too much and if it didn't look like the body EXACTLY it would just look weird. The flatness of the paint makes it match the grill VERY well and it looks great under the clear headlight plastic.

Thanks - Joey Avino
