Also the multiple layers of tape ensures it doesn't get under a seam in the tape and end up on the chrome somewhere

I think I spent an hour if not a little more making sure the masking was perfect on that set.

If you want to dry the paint a little faster than simply leaving them in the air tp dry you can preheat the oven to 200 degrees and turn it off and leave the faces/bezels in there until the oven is completely cool. Still handle them from underneath and try not to touch the paint if you can just in case they aren't completely dry to the touch.

Best of luck with your project and be sure to let us all know how it turns out for you

** Notice on the all black set of assemblies I have projector lenses in the turn signals as well
thanks for all your helps and tips iron-mike
