I want to paint the inside of my headlights and I was wondering if regular automotive paint will be ok. Or will it be too hot for it?

And if so what do you guys think would be the best hi-temp paint to match the SW color?

I've seen other people on here use high temp paint but does it really get that hot with stock headlight bulbs?

 

I used regualr paint, not high temp, I bought it online from a paint mixer who mixes Toyota paint, but you can go to any body shop and have them mix you up a can of it. the paint code for SW is 040

 

damn, yours look really good. Did you make the clear corners yourself?

 

yes, I used a flourescent light diffuser that you can get at Home Depot and cut it out using the stock orange piece as a guide. then formed it over the headlight where the orange piece is with a heat gun then glued it there.

 

looks good scioncraze05

 

thanks guys, heres the site where I got my paint from:

how much did you order?

 

I ordered one can and did both housings.

 

did you have any left over? I'm also wanting to paint several dash pieces and my front scion emblem. Should I buy more then one can? Did you use the spray paint, or the can and air brush it?

 

why paint your headlights. on a sw the black is the best

 

hahaha I used good old spray paint and haven't had any problems with temp, also have clear corners and angel eyes

 

I used the spray paint,and yes I still have some left over, if you want to paint dash pieces and front emblem then get another can or two.

Because its different and it stands out in shows, I had alot of people compliment me on my headlights. Heres a pic of mine:
