Black P5 w/ painted heads?
 
Hey all,
I have a Mica Black '03 MP5. I love the look of the painted headlights, and I think that it adds some aggresiveness to the overall look of the car. I have seen painted headlights a lot on Red, Light Blue, and Yellow MP5's, but none to very few Mica Black MP5's. If anyone has a Mica Black MP5 that has painted their headlights, I would appreciate it if they posted some pictures. I am seriously considering doing this modification, but this isn't a bolt on exhaust that can come off if I don't like it, so I would like to be sure. Thanks to anyone that can help me out.

I would check the other board for members with painted headlights. Bijou and shawnthemonster or whatever has them on their black micas. Good luck.

if price stays under $200, this is good deal but when it goes over...it's just better to paint it by yourself.

No way! How do we do that? What type of paint?

just any kind of auto paint...I use black semi gloss, it doesn't have to be high temp paint.
basically you need primer and sand paper and color of your paint.

Im sorry but could you send me step by step or something relevant enough for me (someone slow at this) to understand? Pics would be great!

if i do it i would use testors high gloss paint. just keep it clean and it has a nice smooth finish every time. I used it for changing one of my cd drives from white to black
