ive seen it done with an orange car, it didnt look that bad. but wouldnt it make the lights not project as well, since the light uses all that reflective surface to make the beam

There is a guy somewhere on the site with a white Camaro and he painted it white.

Just go get a can of 99 cent spray paint and try it! If you don't like it then you won't be out of much money.

RunEmDown...you paint everything BUT the reflective part.

Check out the 2 Camaros in my Fquick to see.
