Headlights Painted and Baked
**UPDATED AND FINISHED.. SEE PICS BELOW FOR COMPLETED!!!!!!
So yesterday was the first day of my headlight modification. We will finalize today since we are attempting to paint the areas a little bit different using lines. Below are some progress/teaser photos. We have to wet-sand some areas and finish up but this at-least gives ya an idea. Bullitt@UAMotorsports did an awesome job and I was glad to have his assistance. Two people are much better than one person lol Will post completed pics once everything is put back together.

Yeah it was a long night yesterday... Gonna get at it again when I get off work. The original design was pretty complex and we decided to simplify it a little. Taping and prep work is really what was taking the most time. Since I wanted to give billet a really unique headlight design I thought we would take te time to do it right. I the first few coats of paint aren't perfect and since billet and myself are perfectionists we are going at it again today to see if we can clean it up a bit and make them flawless. All in all I am really liking how these are coming along and I will be offering my services to those who want a cheaper solution to getting their headlights painted.

^ i thought about doing a similar design, but then i hesitated at the prep work, then got lazy. i'm happy with how mine came out, but it's cool to see someone had the same idea and is actually finishing it

The red ring on the inside looks Sick! I bet that would be wicked with a red demon eye... If you don't do it, I sure am!
Can't wait to see the finished product guys.

Thanks guys for the comments... Bullitt and myself should have final pics tonight. He has a great eye and skills for this job so I'm happy with his services. It would have been finished yesterday if we just painted the rings one color but we decided to go for something different. Way longer but worth it

Have you started to make a ballpark figure for cost since you said this would be cheaper than other routes??

We are looking at the $350+ range depending on what you want done. I will also be doing LEDs too.
