Before I even ask -- please don't jump on me with the whole 'use the search button' thing. I have searched, but there is SO much information posted that it would take me eons to sift through for the exact information I want.

I've decided to undertake the project of painting my headlights. I know how -- there are a bunch of fantastic threads available for that.

I'm looking for specific recommendations on what kind of paint to use to do it. Since I own a DG Coupe, I want a semi-gloss black, since I think flat black will look too dull but gloss black will be too much. What paint brands/shades do you guys recommend?

Thanks!

 

I asked a similar question and got some answers here:

I do ALOT of headlight work as far as painting and wiring up LEDs and such

The ONLY paint I will use or work with is Krylon Fusion. You can paint the faces of the assemblies without having to sand them or use a primer. If you spray it right it doesn't produce runs or anything and will coat evenly. If you want to speed up the bonding process of the paint you can stick the faces in the oven at 200degrees for 5 min and let them cool (put them in the oven AFTER they are dry to the touch)

the paint can easily be gotten at Home Depot if you have one local to you

best of luck with the project!

 

^^ Awesome, thank you!

 

you're most welcome
