i tried to use 5% window tint to make some eyelids and it didnt work out so great so im wondering if anyone has used paint on glass headlights. i dont want to try without some info cause my headlights werent cheap, any info would be great!!

I have. Painted a couple coats of primer before spraying on gloss black. Makes it completely opaque so light won't shine through. Rocks will chip off the paint if you are painting on glass headlights. When i was sick of the painted eyelids i just scrapped off the paint with a razor blade.Originally posted by oh_snap View Post -
I know someone who just used electric tape for small eyelid! IT worked too until it started peeling off in the winter.

Just get some GTS light covers and cut them. Then prime and spray the color of your car.Comment

snailin91 painted the inside of his headlights when he blackhoused his. It looks SICK! He taped off the inside of it (he just followed one of the lines on the glass) and sprayed a couple of coats. He doesn't have a MR thread so there are no pics of it.3 CB's gone....

1000's of people have done it-if done right it looks good and last-the outside like others said rock chips and weather is the problem-the inside is just getting to the inside like you do in the black housing diyComment

You can go to any sign shop, and get some scrap black vinyl. a few bucks if not free... Then apply how you want.

Maybe do both inside and out...That way if it chips no light would shine through...I still think it would look a little off having the inside opaque but outside not, but I haven't actually seen one in person done like thatLast edited by bcjammerx; 02-16-2009, 02:40 AM.____Comment

mines are painted on the inside of the glass. I started with white layers then ended with black for light blocking
