^ lol that was fast!

Thanks for the :thumbs-up: everyone!

@Nine8Six - cheers! I like the matte though, might keep the plasti-dip for a while and see how it goes. If I have to redo them in a year no worries, if they look crap in a few weeks I might reconsider

@itsnotanova - the black looks good on red! my lights were also terrible when I got them on ebay from someone who lived by the beach in tropical North Queensland, they'd seen some sun! They only cost about $200 US so you can guess the condition! Took a lot of sandpaper and buffing to get them looking decent again, but they still have a hint of yellow to them around the rims when the lights are on, hence why I tried this also.
