Hey guys,
So i tried this last night and only got to the baking part and I got stuck when i tried to take off the tabs that are on the sides. It was coming off but not enough and i was afraid i might mess it up. Do you guys have any easy way of doing this or maybe i was probably doing it wrong. Also when putting it back together do i need to use anything to put it back together or will it just snap back on after i take it out the oven again.

I painted mine with krylon gloss black because. I'm not a matte fan and I also used clear coat and they look just as pappas do gloss and matte aren't a big difference because of the shine from the lens I would use the matte that pappa used my cars black to begin with so the gloss just goes better for me any other color than black I would use matte paint as recommended

Yah, I will probably stick with that since i painted my vacuum cover matte black n it came out clean.lol. Just to practice. The guy at kragens gave me Duplicolor sandable primer flat black n he said you don't need to buy a another flat black since this one already has it. Should i just buy the Duplicolor bump coating flat black to give it that matte finish.

hey guys i could use your advice for my project.
i have an 04 TB coupe and im installing halos( i know i know, im 20 and i really like the look) and i have 6000k bulbs in both hi/fog (new kit) and low's. what color would you guys paint them? im looking to color match it to the TB i think. i think black wouldnt look so good with the dark blue.
also, what type of paint is best to use? i think i saw spray paint somehwere on this thread?? AND does anyone know what color i would ask for? im going to go to sherwin wiliams i think to buy it. but i need to know the type and color code i guess.
THanks alot guys!!!
