Who can black out my 06 coupe headlights? Im really looking for someone who has done this a few times and is comfortable with opening and closing the housing. Not someone just trying to take a crack at it to make a quick buck.

Id also like you to be able to keep certain pieces inside the housing chrome which can be tough. I know there are a few guys on here who do these on a regular basis so please PM me with a price/details and well go from there...Thanks!

 

I recommend you post this in the Regional Forums according to your state.
Then you can meet up with someone locally instead of getting cross country responses here, having you to ship your lights to them unless you are comfortable with that.....

Talk to a local shop as well, some are willing to do it.

 

PM member CASKYLINE. He has plenty of experience painting headlights. You can also get him to add CCFL halos if you're interested.

 

would be nice to be able to find someone local but I had planned to ship anyway...

If you want a member to do it and can ship, use CASKYLINE or IVORYGT, they do great work.

 

WHat is reasonable to expect to pay...Would like to get this for $100 before shipping...

 

Unless the person has a paint booth (I don't) It will not be that cheap. It will be at least $150 to just paint the housing.

 

Even if these are going with some flat black or gloss black paint from a can? Im sure there is a vast difference between that and say paint booth paint but is the difference really worth it?

 

Paint performed by a bodyshop (look at the reflection)




Day worth of painting out of a spray can

 

plus the paint from a spray can is very thin..it chips very easily and definitely does not shine as well.

 

for that price, its going to be rattle can, which can look good in matte and satin finishes, but gloss isn't going to happen out of a spray can
