quick question...on the headlights...there is the chrome all around the headlights that is smooth, the wavy behind and below the headlights. What does everyone paint. The smooth and the wavy part on the bottom right?
yeah, paint the ridgid part too. the taping off is the hardest part cuz u wanna be really precise or u will have runs. the best way to do it is hang it upside down if possible and point the spray can up inside of the housing. that way any runs will run out instead of back onto the reflector parts.
