I need some advice on whether I should have my new projectors painted completely black or whether I should leave the casing around the projector lens silver.

These will be going on my OB coupe. I'm not really into the whole murdered out look so I don't know if completely black will be too much

Option 1: Leave casing silver





Option 2: Paint completely black

 

Never really liked people painting their projectors black. I would leave them chrome.

Infact it actually devalues it because the chrome finish is more expensive then plain black paint.

 

I say either all black or all oem chrome..

 

chrome, it stands out

 

just a thought, but here is another option. PIA to tape it off, but it is how i did my headlights...Headlight is all black and just the trim is painted silver/chrome...

 

all chrome isn't an option. The inside bezel of the lights have some imperfections I would like to cover up

 

You have any closer pics?

 

i tried to find some, but I am at work, so I will see if I can find any more...

 

??




only closer ones i can find while at work, but u get the idea...

 

chrome shroud if your grill is stock or black with a chrome emblem, to have contrast

all black if your grill and emblem are black

 

my grill is currently black with a chrome emblem

 

then black housings with chrome shrouds would look great IMHO

 

I like all black.

 

Leave the projector shroud chrome. Would match your grill setup better.

 

should the paint be gloss black or flat black?
