headlights + metallic paint

My headlight cracked so I decided to have some fun!

Not a perfect color match, but good enough for me!

(ignore the polish compound)

I used Duplicolor alloy paint in silver. There is actually a closer silver (Duplicolor metallic silver but I wanted to try the durability & texture of their alloy paint).

Also used 3 layers of clear.

Looks good but the fact that it's not quite a match bothers me. I would have went with black instead or had a paint shop match the paint.
