Ok, now that I have your attention. I'm no idiot, I know not to nightshade my headlight lenses. BUT, what if I do the headlight mod, put in oven, separate lens from housing, paint housing in non-reflector areas, bla bla bla, but I use nightshade instead of straight up black paint. I would assume that I would get kind of a black chrome look, with a light coat or 2 of nightshade of course. Has anyone done this and if so can you post up pics? Thanks.

 

I used Duplicolor Shadow (chrome tint) on my emblems and it is very difficult to get it even. It seems worth trying if you have the patience to apply it correctly

 

I'd vote Shadow instead as well... heard good things about it!

 

Ya ive tried nightshade on plastic chrome and plexiglass and Ive yet to get a piece to turn out right. Very uneven. Dont know about this shadow stuff they are talking bout though.

 

I'd just get a different color PAINT.

 

Ok so nightshade is a no-go, won't lay down and cover well enough. Thanks for the input guys.

 

i saw this done and i cant find the pis to save my life, ill post if i can fin them. if your truck is a color other than black, ive seen people paint it the color of the truck. looks amazing

 

Demon-FX4 was his username. Color matched E4 headlight mod. It looked ok but I remember him catching some crap because they looked pink.

 

ya you might want to do a heavy coat for that shade of red. make it dark

 

I don't really like the color matched look. Unless it's a black truck. My truck is pretty close in color to rangerstepside's truck.

 

ya a color like ours is a tough one to use on trim and stuff, let alone find a color match thats close enough

 

it looked gay lol. gray is the only other color that would look pretty good imo



duplicolor makes cans you can get off of a shelf that match. I usually just get a can made at an autobody supplier if i need to spray something (like i sprayed my grille surround)

 

Tyler (Rangerboy101) has DSG heads and they look great! They look better than black on a white truck IMO.

 

yeah his look awesome

 

ive been around the parts store here and i cant find it anywhere. i had to have the body shop mix me up a batch

 

damn that sucks! i always get a can made anyway. I only picked up duplicolor for my gauge cluster bezel

 

ya i figured they'd have it. color code bm, or bright amber metallic, not one they carry i guess, at least not here. but they made me a can for the air gun for free.
