lol you had the right idea but went about it the wrong way! Paint the light housing YES, but the reflector NO. Common sense surely tells you it isn't a good idea...

My 1st attempt of spraying the housing i tried to mask off the reflective main beam part, as soon as i pulled the masking tape off it also pulled the reflective with it leaving it in patches, so pretty much impossible to mask of.

I was also using not so sticky masking tape.

Lmao yes it is atmo, it's been da'd and prepped ready for a spray job the car will be going black again but this time not metallic.

Just flat black or matt/satin? Interesting choice! Black on black is my favourite.

I'd be interested to see what they look like on a black car.

I'll post a pic when the car is finally sprayed hopefully it won't be long.

I reckon he'll get a few bad surprises on it if he does that.

This is like when people spray their rear lights black - yes they still work, but they're so dim that it's not worth having them in the first place!
Lights are bright for a very good reason...

I didn't spray the xenon bulb capsule glass, so the brightness is not affected but here's pics anyway.

Nice tea lights.

Just waiting for a nice sunny day atmo so i can spray the inside door jams and inside the doors, then it will be a case of see my friend that sprays cars to fit it into his for him to blow the hole car over for a barging price of £100 lol.

Gotta luv mates sometimes .
