If its only matte paint and non glossy stuff I can do it no problem.

Looks pretty good to me. In the sunlight will the black look too dry? I like the satin look

check out my rear valence, it's the same paint as those headlights above and it surely does not look dry at all in any light but you can still provide me with any paint you would want for yours.

Not to take away from Weiboy's buisness but another place to have your headlight done locally is Lightwurkz in Daly City, they do custom work, I haven't dealt with them personally but they seem pretty legit.

Yeah he did. You can pretty much ask him what specific looks you want and he'll try to accommodate you.

I've seen their work and it is pretty legit and no worries, you're not taking business away from me haha. A shop will always charges shop prices and I do this on the side for a little bit of extra cash and I know there's always someone who will want to save a little money for almost the same quality.
