masked off what i didnt want black. then took off the headlights and sanded with 220 then i wiped them down with a tack cloth to remove grease. then i put them under some heat lamps to get them to a warmer temperature so the paint would level easier. then using about 8 light coats built up the paint little by little until it was fully covered.

if i wasn't incredibly **** about that then i would have believed you. what u don't notice in the pictures is the huge pile of tape i used getting these perfect. but that would be funny if i hit something and it looked like it had a lazy eye.
