What part of the headlight did you paint (for those who painted theirs)?

I touched all over that chromey thing and had no peoblems cleaningit. I even got the Gm silicone crap on it and it comes right off with no hassle if you use a citrus cleaner. :)

aleroman>>8<< most people who paint, paint the whole chrome thing (bezel). If I decide to paint mine, tho I will only pain the front edge of it. :)

Thanks Smlz, I have an extra left side headlight I'm going to take apart and wanted to know so I could paint the right piece. But it won't be Bronzemist. Oops, I think I leaked out a little info.

^ you have a cardomain? I didnt know youre doing your car bronzemist...

My car is already a Bronzemist.

The painted bezels look good on *some* cars. I like it on youngblood, molson (I think his are done) and jackal2000's look good. I thought about doing that on mine but I don't think it would look good. Anyone know of another ruby red car with painted bezels?

^Nope, Ive never seen it. i don't like the whole bezel painted... on any color. Plus it defeats the whole reflective purpose. I'm thinking about doing mine to match the body, but just the front surface and leave the inside and edges chrome..

thats the way i was thinking of doing mine when i get the chance. what type of paint do ya use, and what kind of prep do u need to do before ya paint em??

Alero04 I found the oven trick worked really well i didn't read the whole how to uintill I was putting the first one back together.

I color-matched painted bezels would look hot on a darker blue car like Albino's, hopefully he'll let me paint his when we get his headlights tore down. It's totally up to him though, his car....

After doing mine on my '04 i kind of actually wish I had of reused the silicon that was already on it, I honestly think it would have sealed better. but we will.. no leaks yet but its not even 24 hours old and no rain today lol

^ take a water hose to it for about 5 min. that'll tell you right away

I had to remove all the silicone, someone had changed the lenses and used regular silicone. Both mine had moisture before. I used "Goop" automotive glue on 1 and have had no problems with it. Didn't have enough "Goop" for the other one used outdoor silicone and get a tiny bit of moisture only after washing.

well...due to drinkage and hockey practice...the corners were not cleared this weekend :(
we're doing it either tomorrow or tuesday tho...imma print out all the how-to steps...lol. so i SHOULD have pics up this week of how i did...hopefully everything will go according to plan! :pimp:

Have you read these yet. Not trying to be rude but there are some great tips. http://invision.aleromod.com/index.php?showtopic=17

i kno about the tips...which is why i said im printing everything out...i was just announcing that i didnt get it done this weekend and that its getting done this week sometime.....

I'm going to get to mine this weekend too, hopefully, but like you said too much drinkage might keep me from doing it, but to hell with that, it's getting done finally I went out and bought a clear automotive silicone, hope everything goes good with ya.

Thanks Pimpin...
