Default I Painted My Headlights...

Well I read an article on here about tearing your headlights apart and painting them. Well I found a used set on Craigslist and gave it a try. What do you think???

Omg, some of you guys suck. There's only so much that I can want to do. I'd like to paint my lights too. Was it hard to paint them? Also, not to sound mean or rude or offensive, but does it take much skill or patience to paint them? Or is it mostly just using a fine brush to brush it on in small amounts to be sure not to have runs? And they look really good. Have any closer pictures of just one?

i did the same this about a year ago. they turned out well except for some slight clouding when it rains. i just need to seal them a little better. a word of caution tho without the reflector you may not pass inspection in va. they gave me a hard time so i installed a small reflector.

Be careful when much with your lights. check out the "Factory tint and police problems" thread. A lot of these laws are stupid.
