Friends DIY RSX JDM headlights! 56k NO NO

Yesterday me and two friends decided to try and black out the headlight housing on a friends RSX-S. This requires removing the bumper to get the headlights, Separating the headlights (we used a heat gun.), masking, primering, and painting the headlight housing, and then putting it all back together. We used some automotive primer that my dad had that is meant for getting paint to stick to plastic. For the black we just used semi-gloss Krylon paint from autozone. I think it turned out really well. It took about 5 hours do including drying time. Anyway here are the pics lett me know what you think.

take better pics of it on the car with the bumper on. you took the last pic with the headlights on and you can't really see the overall product.
