i'll simplify this for you....listen to this guy on how to prep and what to use...and yes put the can in warm-hot water. too the person that said to chill the paint, you're an idiot. what happens when you cool things off? they contract and get thicker...why the hell would that make it easier to spray? Put the cans in hot water for a while and let them warm up, it'll help atomoize the paint and it will spray more evenly with less clumping. and yes it will be finer. as for the headlights, use dupli-color high heat engine paint. good luck, post pics, peacE
