BLHM

thinking about doin the bhlm this weekend if I have time. I did it on my 2007 in a flat black. So the question is: gloss or flat again?

 

I'm going to do satin.

 

Would be interesting to see comparison photos up close.

I've yet to do the BHLM but really want to. Just finding the time (and courage) to finally get it done is my issue.

 

Same... i got quoted by a light "maker" over 200 dollars just to paint them... FML

 

My local tint shop quoted $300 for it. I did it myself. Here is Satin black (Krylon Fusion)

 

Like that one. Might have to go with the satin. Anybody that's thinking about doing it, don't hesitate because you're nervous or worried about tearing something up. When I did it on my '07, the hardest part was getting the lights out. Just take your time!

 

Thinking about plastdipping the badges. Can I use pastidip on the lights or will it cause clearance issues when reassembling? Kinda want the option to go back to stock if I don't like it. Then again, I'm diggin the storm trooper look.

 

Looks really good!
How long did it take you?

 

Took me and a buddy the better part of a day. The toughest part is removing the housings. I would say about 6 or 7 hours but a lot of that was waiting for paint to dry. I did 3 coats on the bezels
