hahhhahaha, good Kronix joke, sure does sound like him w the 'gheto' comments.

but yea, the '3 dolla' was actually free, i got a can of that paint long time ago and painted the front grilles, side vents, and gauge rings, so then i just did the headlights as well as side markers.
i was actually gonna order soem sidemarkers yesterday, and idea came to me to just give them a apray first, and if it turns out like crap id just order clears, well they turned out great so i did the headlights as well, color is actually 99% the same as the silver on headlights
and for chips and whatnot, well i hope nothing happens, but if it does i mean its like another 20 mins of my time to put another coat on, i was actually thinking about putting some protection on there, clear stoneguard maybe of some sort.
but i out about 3 light coats

Hey, turn on your hazzards and take a picture with the lights illuminated.
Maybe turn on your parking lights too so I can see the side marker as well.
I don't know if it will look better at day or night, but I am curious about
the opacity or translucency -to use a couple of impressive sounding words.

Ya, I posted pictures of my lights lit up if you recall. They let about 90% of the light through so I dont see how thats unsafe. I bought special translucent candy black paint so that it would be safe. Maybe its unsafe I drive a black car too since its black and all. Ive also painted lights silver and they let the same amount of light through as my black candy paint.
