Black Corners

Black Corners
I got my clear corners a few weeks ago and I was wishing that they where black to match my head lights. So I decided to paint them.
At first I was pretty worried to be putting my new corners in the oven but I decided the results would be worth it. I put my old ones in first and they came out great. So I primered and painted them before I stuck my new ones in the oven.
Overall the job wasnt to hard. The oven temp really differs from oven to oven. I had mine at 225 for 40 minutes. Finally I just had to pry them apart.
On to the pics.
Here are my stock corners waitng to be preped.
I did two coats of primer on them. I am sure one would have worked fine but I missed a few spots the first time around.
This kinda gives you an idea of what things look like. The black one is taped and painted. The taping was REALLY easy on these guys. I did three coats of paint just to make sure it was a good thick coat.
Here are them put together. I like the results. The only thing I had a hard time with was the silicone but that was because the tubes back end exlpoded on me and I had to do it with my figer.
Here they are on my truck. They look alot better then the CLEAR corners.

Ahem..........excuse me?.....
DANGIT!! I was wrong. lol. I even looked it up. Who is the guy with the niteshaded amber reflector w/ black painted inside/chrome inside reflector?? I know it's a white edge, also with modded headlamps. I seemed to not save the pics!

I originally wanted to leave the reflectors chrome and black out the rest like the headlight mod. As you can see in the photo below, the reflector is larger top to bottom than the amber part. I wasn't sure if it would look OK that way or not so I just blacked out the whole reflector. It still works OK at night.

It is painted on the inside and the ridges are also on the inside. The black paint makes the ridges much less apparent, eliminating the whitish halo effect around the perimeter of the corner.
