Another painted headlight thread with pics (Alpine/Hyperblack)
There are many of these but I know I'm always up for seeing people try new colors, etc.
Details: - Dropped bumper down but didn't remove (keep in mind to be careful doing this because the small plastic of the bumper that goes between the main headlight and DRL can crack the paint if you flex it while pulling the lights out) - Heated oven to 210, turned off, let sit for 10-12 minutes. (Used the same when reassembling. - Prepped with a green scotchbrite pad - Pick up three different paints with the goal of matching my hyperblack wheels. (nailed it on the first try though with Rustoleum Black Night Metallic). - Started at 6PM ended at 2AM. I could do it in half the time now but I completely stipped the lights before putting them in the oven.

Looks very good. Compliments the wheels very well. I was very close on pulling the trigger on the hyperblack Linea Corse LMs. I went the same route for the color of the housings. Now retrofit a pair of projectors in there and we can be twins!
