From the shape of the grille and headlights, it looks like a C55 AMG

It certainly comes from the wrong side of the tracks.

You have to take the headlights apart to paint the bezel. I did it to my car. For the tails, you just mask off what doesn't get painted (meaning the reverse light in this instance) and paint the rest.

That involves baking the headlights to remove the bonding agent, correct?

Also for the tail lights, do you paint the outside, or are you supposed to take them apart as well?

I was able to take mine apart carefully using a hair dryer and prying the lens off.

The tails get painted on the outside, but you need to have a real paint shop do them or they'll look like garbage. They'll mix some black paint in with some clear to make it translucent. When done that way they'll be as shiny as the paint because it is paint.

Oh okay. Is this a pretty common mod? I don't want to go up to one of the local paint shops and have them look at me like I'd just stabbed an eagle or something

I'm only asking because I've only ever seen cheap DIY jobs done. I've never heard of people actually getting their stuff professionally handled.

a lot of professional paint shops do translucent paint jobs on lens. if you dont want to do it they actually have a tint spray for tail lights.

I've used Testors model paint (window tint and clearcoat) for my tinting on my cars, and it works out fine. Important things are many thin layers of both tint and clear.

I used that stuff and it started flaking off after about a year.
