Just trying to get a thread going that shows the final product of DIY CTR/Black Housing headlights done by Honda-Techers. Be sure to post what color paint you used or any special technique that sets yours apart from all the rest.

Nice Pics! Keep them coming.

Here's mine.

flat black. Sanded all the chrome off did a few coats of flat black primer and a few of flat black paint. If I were to redo it, I would go with semi-flat black.

 

looks kinda funky with the chrome off

 

Heres mine on my old frontend. I'm gonna do my y2k headlights this weekend.

Dupli color high temp low gloss black paint.

 

A friend of a friends.

 

here is mines

 

they look great

 

looks ok

 

So i'm assuming everyone so far has used flat black, anybody used gloss black, graphite, or something else? Nice pics people.

 

Here's the real CTR's for close comparison for you guys

 

you guys all need some of this

 

HERE ARE MY PICS I JUST SPRAYED PRIMER OVER CHROME AND THEN WITH DUPLICOLOR GUNMETAL I SPRAYED AGAIN

hopefully now it will show

 

Here's the set I did. Believe it or not, these are DIY. I personally think these come the closest to real CTR headlights w/o the city light.

Most of the ones that I have seen are either gunmetal or black.... way off the CTR "style". These are chromed gunmetal. You can see your reflection just like the real CTRs unlike other people's DIY CTRs,

DECENT?? that's easily the BEST DIY ctr headlights i've ever seen... everyone has flat black or gunmetal (like he mentioned) and they really dont look anything like real ctr's. the color on these is very accurate. Good work, man
