Arrow Custom Headlights

Well basicly i'll post pics in a couple of days,But anyways a couple of weeks ago i helped Curious George customize his headlights and they look awesome.
What George did was put some black in the light to give it a really aggressive look.

blue

I would love to see these in blue as I'm not sure if the black housing would look so good with a blue car, and i have a electric blue car, i don't want to have to redo something thats so risky.

I just did a member of my clubs headlights in the blue that to cobalt comes in. ill try to locate the picture of it. the only problem with doing them any other color is that the lenses of the headlights are tinted a little so it wont match 100% but it looks great. email me if you have any questions

Heres some for you other guys with a RED redline. I also found out that the headlights come apart a whole lot easier if you put the oven on 210 and leave them for 30 minutes. Thanks to Big E, and his people for letting me use their house to paint them today!



Remember to wear protection, just incase the oil from your fingers does mess up the chrome.

Wow, that turned out great. I've always wondered about colors other than black. How did resealing them come out? You can't tell how messy mine are until you lift the hood. I had to keep applying more sealant because the headlights would fog up a little.

Im not sure about the seal yet, i just did them today. I just got lucky with the paint. The krylon fusion just happened to be so close to our red that I couldnt pass it up. I was about a half a second away from painting them black when I found the red where it wasnt supposed to be. I like the way it turned out though.
