It was time.
 

So... After much thought and debate about whether to do it myself or to pay somebody else to do it for me... I finally decided to take the dive and attempt to take my headlights apart and paint them myself. They are awaiting their 2nd coat as I speak... Will update with pictures as I get them.

For all of you that are nervous about doing this yourself, don't be. It actually isn't that bad. I used the heatgun/cardboard box method and it was pretty easy.

What color scheme are you going with?

Black, black, and more black lol. Though I am attempting to leave the small chrome boomerang alone to give it some contrast. Not sure if my tape job will allow that it not though.

Very nice, interested in seeing the final product. Just make sure that you seal it up water tight :tup:

Now that I got past the 'breaking them open'... The final seal is what I'm worried about >.<

Is there a link for this heat gun / cardboard box method?

Good luck bro. I think it was jarder to put them back on lol nobody did a diy on that lol

this was the guide I used. I just didn't have the supplies to add the leds to it this time around. so I only looked at the videos for heating and disassembling.

Thanks aquaman

Looks mean

I really like how the chrome boomerang pops against the black. Was a good decision to tape that off lol

Looks great, good job :tup:
