It looks good up this close. You should take a picture at night and a little farther back, it will show it off better. And people only really focus on headlights at night... i hope.

Looks OK but I would have only painted the front of the bezel.
Did you use an adhesion promoter before paint?

Looks ok, but I think it would look better if they were black.

I would have lightly sanded the part before painting it.....and use some promoter. the sun will be beating down on it, it gets hot.....might chip off..... looks good though.

I painted mine with Krylon flat black without sanding or using the promoter. Three years now, and no signs of cracking or chipping. |

That eases my nerves a lot. I used krylon red, no sanding or promoter. Looks like I'll be alright then. thanks
