Tried plasti dipping my headlight border...

^ 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.

Ur dead on, never tough about that lolll never waste time already spent! Although I give them 6 month max

Think that plasti-crap is semi. Not full matte. Careful cuz some paints are pretty damn 'matte'. As in hollow effect lolll I'd test satin as well

This was just a quickie to see if my eyes were good enough to do it. I know it's not the right color, just a test. 5 coats of Plastidip covered in poly urethane gloss clear.
