Im going to get my hands on a pair of those hot jdm projectors but im not really digging the crhome look on the lights or anywhere else anymore. So what i thinked was painting those things black or some other decent color that would match into my plans. I think it would be nice with some black spoke rims that im getting. Does anyone have ever tried this and if do you have some pics? Any close pics of the projectors are also invited so i can see if those are able to be painted nicely.

These are able to be painted nicely without any big problems, just make sure you will sand the chrome on the housings. I have 2 spare JDM projector housings (from my damaged headlights) so im going to paint them my self too later in spring smile.gif

And when you gonna paint these - try and search for the paint witch are more or less resistable to the head - cuz the temp inside the headlights can be pretty high - so you dont want the paint to start peel off in the headlight...

Thats exactly the way that ive figured it out myself. I think im gonna let my friend paint those cos im not gonna start messing up my projectors with some spray paint. And good point with that paint resistable thing.
