It was actually a satin paint. thanks though. I am pretty proud of myself on them. I do not mess with vehicles to often. It was nice to have the support that this site has proven to offer. It made things run smoother than I could imagine.

I finally talked myself into doing it today. I have one side done and am waiting for the paint to dry on headlight #2. The writeup is a lifesaver. I found the best method for reassembly was another 9 minutes in the oven after painting to heat up the adhesive. Pics coming shortly.




Edit: All done

I just used Rust-O in flat black. I put a coat of primer on before the black.

You'll be fine. I hadn't planned on it either but I found a can when I was looking for something else this morning.

It looks great. It was worth the aggravation wasn't it?
