painted headlight housing

so i finally got around to spraying my headlight housing
the most difficult part was stripping the headlight down
as i sprayed each part individually to get a oem look

It always seems hard when you've never done it before, but after you do it a couple of times it gets easier. I would say the hardest part of it is masking. You have to be very careful with those high beam reflectors because they peel off very easily.

Mir, wait till you put them on your car. It totally changes the whole front end of the car.
