sorry there it is

 

Looks real nice actually. Any more shots?

 

looks good

 

Looks great.

BTW, you can edit your previous post to prevent using all of your posts for the day.

 

look like mine

 

Has anyone tried painting the headlight housing (inside) the same color as the body? aka the new vette' style. I think it would look really cool and would be something different from the same old black.

 

Looks good .. but what brand/color did you use? Just black? I would have used Duplicolor Graphit (gunmetal) .. it makes them look much more real, since real CTR's aren't black, but a smoked/gunmetal color. But, looks good none the less.

 

sorry but im not sure if thats an aftermarket headlight or you did it yourself but if you did it yourself how did you do that??? i recently tried to open up my stock headlights on my eg but i cant so i just forget about it.

 

Looks good!
can you do the same thing for the tail lights?

 

looks great, another Washatonian in the House!

bake at 350 on middle rack, 10 minutes or until golden brown.

 

Good job on the baking. Just looks exactly like mines. I liked leaving the turnsignal part unpainted.

btw...heres a pix of a ebp-si with color matched headlight housings. Dont click the link, copy and paste it into your browser.

I actually thought about that, but i didnt know where to get it done at so that the paint is good quality. It would be hard to find a can of EBP for my headlights. I think it would look good.

 

looks sick

Sorry, the page you requested was not found.

All I saw was a pic of some crummy house on Yahoo. Dammit, I wanted to see the pretty lights.

 

 

how did you guys paint it?

 

not to jack your thread but here's mine...I didnt bake them I used a heat gun and a buddy and two screwdrivers and said a few swear words...well alot...I used semi-gloss black and it turned out great!!!

Many people have asked how I painted them, so in return i threw up a quick webpage:

http://www.cascnet.com/todaspe...s.htm

It may take a while to load because of the picture sizes. Sorry for any inconvience this may cause, especially for those who are using dial up. Sorry
If you have questions you can email or I know there are plenty of people out there who know how to do this because I learned from them. Enjoy.

 

In short. Put ur oven to 300 degrees. Put the headlights in for 12 minutes. Take them out with oven mitts. Open headlights via screwdriver. Paint trim and NOT reflectors. Seal them up with clear epoxy.

 

I painted these for myself and then sold them. I painted them a Graphite metalic. I also installed the city lights into them.

On my car


Same lights on my friends car


Yours looks good
