Anyone Have Their Headlamp Filler Painted?
Hello all I was thinking of painting mine body color and would like to see some pics if someone has this done. I am talking about the black plastic piece between and around the lights. Thanks in advance.

You know I never thought about it. I've only had my headlights up 3-4 times in the past 2 years though.

You could paint them with that special plastic paint so it wouldnt crack the paint when you changed bulbs. I work second shift so I basically only drive at night. It looks good matching.

imo it would look tacky the same color as the car. . . and just like you mentioned, you would definately have to use flexible primer and sealer so they wouldnt crack when you remove them for any reason. i suggest maybe wetsanding them and polishing the plastic itself.

I just used flat black, all I did was give it a good cleaning and it's been like that for 5 years now...

I am going to be painting a fender for my car and was actually thinking of doing that. I'll post picks when done.

I think it would look complete. I hate how they left some surfaces black that needed to be painted... IE the top part of f-bodys(especially hardtops)
