I did that to my Pewter T/A a few years ago. It's one of those things that looks kind of steathy. People didn't realize it till I told them, then they went and popped their headlights to realize that they are all black.

I prefer the stock black myself. Seems like you would have bug removal issues if you didn't wash right away.

yeah im definitely worried about bugs on white paint. but i guess i dont really get that many on the headlights, and thats when i get a TON on the bumper cover. there might be an "air stream" or something that keeps most of them from hitting the lights.

on a white care i just really dont like the black. but i dont think i'd mind it only cars with color.

what kind of paint did you use? i was thinking that krylon that bonds to plastic would be my best bet without buying the right kind of paint.

thanks for the pics and replies!
