painted headlights fading?

seen most ppl on here use the spray paint to paint thier headlights, was wondering if anyone ran into an issue with fading from the sun

Not that I've seen or heard of, either now on the 370 or years back from the 350.

The only issue I've seen is paint fade/bubbling from the excessive heat produced by the bi-xenon headlights. In that case, it was because the people were using water-based paint which was not meant to be used in higher-temp situations.

Mine still looks perfect cause i rarely park my car under the sun, no bubbling from heat neither. I dont think it will be a problem if you ise the right paint and seal them properly
