okay so i seen some guys Tc with the inside of his headlights painted White..... it look pretty sweet.... how do you do that? i now how to take the headlight apart... i just want to paint everything black but i don't want anything chrome to get paint on it.....


Does that chrome peaces come off?? or do you just tape everything really good??


thanks

 

its already black, what else do you want to paint?

 

^x2. the headlight inside is already black like mentioned. The chrome pieces, i believe, do come apart. Did you get headlights that were already painted and want to paint them black? I'm pretty sure there is a DIY here of how to separate the headlights and install angel eyes. Just follow that DIY and paint the headlights to whatever color you like

 

NO! they are not black lol.... they are gray and okay ill look for the DIY thanks guys.... oh and i just really want the chrome off so when i do paint it everything will be perfect you know...

but thanks for your help

 

You will need to bake the headlights to get them appart inorder to get the best access to the areas you want to paint. I am uber bad at explaining how to do it but if you search retrofit, baking headlights, or headlight DIY you shoud come up with some step by step ways to do it. Good luck post up your progres & results!

 

Sweet i no how to bake the lights and get them apart.... the only thing is how to get off the chrome off really thats all i want to know how to do.... does all of the chrome just snap off????


and are then headlights in the picture above without the chrome peaces or did you just paint everything BLACK?

 

painters tape works wonders, take your time.

 

You dont paint alot do you lol... yes tape would work but it wouldnt be perfect it would still look better if you could take off the chrome peaces...

 

not everything is perfect, this is a cheap car. tape it up.

 

only the chrome trim in the low beam and blinker needs to be taped, i think the top "eyelid" part comes off.

 

Okay cool well thanks... i think im giong to do this next weekend ha

 

just painted that piece all flat black, the chrome rings around the headlights do not come off and you will need to keep the chrome on the back part of your headlight assembly to have even remotely useful headlights.

 

Okay cool.... do you think my HIDs would do anything to the paint?? HIDs get pretty hot

 

as long as you do not paint the chrome reflectors in the back of the headlights no.

 

Okay cool thanks for the help

 

gray?
