Paint like this?
Does anyone know where I can get black paint similar like what SOARISTO used on his headlights? I've been looking around hobby shops in my area and no one has anything like this. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong shops, or maybe wrong type of shops?

I just finished putting my old headlights in. Gonna dissasemble the headlights now. On my headlights, there's this huge bracket on the back which is the part that bolts up to the car. it's also how the headlight is aimed. Can I stick the whole thing in the oven like this, or will it warp? I attached a pic of the bracket I'm talking about. It's plastic, but I think the light grey reflector part is plastic too. I'm going to be putting it into the oven at about 400 degrees because I tried 200 degrees for 15 minutes before and the glue wasn't even close to letting go. Maybe I should try 300 before 400... any advice would be appreciated!
Oh, I found a paint that looks pretty good. Painter's Touch Statin Black by Rustoleum or something like that. I'll double check later.
I sprayed it onto a piece of aluminum foil and it looks like a pretty close match.

hmmmmmm how much of it do you want to paint??
I dont see much area where you can paint without messing up the headlight pattern
I might be thinking of something else though
