Help! Blacking Out Headlights (Chicago)

Hello fellow board members, I was just wondering if anyone in the chicagoland area has blacked out their factory bi-xenons and are willing to lend a hand in helping me do mine. I'll be doing everything from heating to painting, but I've never done this to an expensive car before so I just wanted to have someone who has done this around just to say "Don't do that!" or "That's a bad idea.." lol I've seen probably every DIY thread there is on this, but am still a bit hesitant. Compensation would be beer and the satisfaction of knowing you helped a fellow member! Thanks in advance!

I believe you are mistaking putting a tint over his headlight versus opening his headlights and painting the chrome along with some other various parts black. He is paint the insides, not he lense. He will still get full effect of his lights.

C63 AMG comes with the headlight housing black out right? (correct me if I'm wrong)

Talk to mikounj. He has done numerous Bixenon headlights. There really isnt much to it once you get your masking done properly. Make sure you give yourself a good 4-6 hours to be able to accomplish this. What materials are you looking to use? The C63 comes in a gunmetal color not black to my knowledge.
