Headlight Paint Hi Temp?
Do you need to use Hi Temp paint when you bake your headlights and spray them?

I think it would look good in just about any application. Nice job. Where do you get the wrap?

The only way stock headlights look sexy is if they are on a white or silver car... otherwise they look like butt

I never use high temp.

If you're using cans Krylon fusion for matte and Duplicolour bumper coating for Flat.

Don't do gloss unless it's done in a booth, it will just never look good.
