New Mod!! Pics! (Headlights!)
 
18 Attachment(s)
So a while back Twink painted an eyebrow on his headlights, and I loved that idea. So I did it to my truck yesterday! I think it turned out pretty good for my first time actually painting something. I need to take them off on monday and sand down the orange peel. And Then put another thicker layer coat on it. The front part is a little thin and you can see through it in some places, but it will be fixed. What do you think? I did buy paint to match my brilliant black paint too..Forgive me, my truck was dirty so it all doesn't look like it matches. I'm planning on possibly doing my decals and bumpers and maybe the ram head on the grill.

They look good already and I think when you match the paint they will look even better.

Thanks Teach and jonny! The filter in my gun didnt let alot of the metal flake go through, but soon enough it will be perfect.
