That's why I asked apexi957 to post more cause we have same exact color, + same painted black grille and what he did with the headlights is what I was looking for.

hahaha I wanted to do this these weekend lol ... btw you got blue slate as well???
Also, notice how there's a clear/white line all around the housing there, realy noticable in couple pics. If I do mine I'll make sure paint that as well.

Also if i do this, Im doing before and after shots, cause most of the time everyone forgets. Its really nice for comparison.

If you request them, then I will post them

Thanks for the comments man! I really appreciate it, people don't really notice the headlights which is kind of depressing since I put a lot of work into it. When I finished the headlights I was not expecting such a good response from forum members.

What kind of paint did I use??

I used Rustoleum primer, Rustoleum gloss black and Rustoleum clear coat. However I would suggest using Rustoleum high heat paint, engine paint or even caliper paint to resist the heat coming from the headlights. It's nearly been a month and my paint is still holding up, but I would recommend that you use the paint made for heat.

Now....anymore questions??? Pics will be up tomorrow JUST for you.

It's 2 bad u can't get high heat paint in factory colors (Blue Slate, Garnet Fire, etc.) I think that would look much better than every1 just blackin out.

I personally don't want color match my headlights or my grille. If i do want, I can easily do that since I work in a bodyshop. I just like how black looks better on blue slate rather than color matching.
