[nate'sCB7]

im pinching pennys until my next check but the anticipation is killing me i want to bh my headlights is just any black spray paint good?

[busak87]

yup, any black paint should be good...I used bbq black paint for my USDM lights, and just regular black paint for my JDM lights

[coletrain]

Yeah any sort of black paint will work. Your better off getting a flat black spray paint or BBQ flat black paint.

Are you worried about heat or something?

The bbq paint at wallyworld is pretty cheap.

sweet cuz i am flat broke! i have no more money until i git payed

Yeah once you get everything put back together you won't really notice a difference with it behind the glass. Just take your time taping it off and use multiple thin coats and you'll be straight. Post pics of the finish product!

how would nightshade work on the headlights?

i used walmart $1 rattle can for mine

I used heat resistant, 7 bucks, maybe i coud have bought a meal with that

Its all in the prep work to allow the paint to adhere. Most paints are resisitant to high heat, so you should be good with el cheapo stuff.

Night Shades are a tint from my understanding so I would think that you would need a bunch of coats to reach the level of opacity that you would want. I feel like the first few coats would still show the chrome through the black, although it would be darker.

I'd just go with a regular paint. My gut feeling is to use a high heat paint just to be safe.

i would go with a flat black and maybe do 2 to 3 coats to make it look real phresh good luck with that

[bcjammerx]

you wouldn't need high temp stuff? The bulbs get pretty hot...headlights can get pretty warm too.
