Need paint work done for my headlights

Would anyone be able to paint my headlights?? My bodyshop doesnt want to do it because of the risk of condensation or lack in confidence of being able to do it perfectly. What ever the case I need them black out !! If anyone knows of anyone that can do a good job on this post or pm! ! ! ! ! !

Edit : I'm in Miami !

Do it your self. It's not that hard. There are a bunch of threads on it. I did mine.

Dude as simple as everyone makes it seems I reallly don't like the Idea of getting my headlights, putting them in the oven, opening them and then popping them back in after the paint and sealing them again. I don't have the ***** to do that to my headlights lol >.<

Fair enough. It is a little daunting. I am actually in middle of another headlight mod, so I'm going through it right now. I have headlight pieces all over the place. hehe.

I can't ! lol I'm not car savvy at all so I wouldn't trust my self doing it correctly.. Although I probably could.. I wouldn't want to take a risk like that. I'm getting my car painted as we speak at my cousins shop but They didn't want to do it because they said it would have condensation problems or might have.

Bah! I baked mine about 10 times before one of them developed condensation. And that was easily cured with a little silicone.

Thats definitely comforting to hear

Just need someone to do it or at least help me!

After this paint job I'm getting done All I want is my lights to pull of about 50% of the look. Rims/Drop would be the other 50% because its a pretty big deal but Honestly I would rather spend A grand on a nice exhaust then rims first.. I dono.. I'll more than likely jump to the best deal I see which will probably be rims because my cousin said he's going to help with getting some. He knows the owners of Strauss/Forge or w.e its called. Not sure if anyone here may be familiar with them.

I wanted to do mine too, but im also scared of F'ing it up. I've read the DIY. It seems basic/simple, until you have to put everything back together.
