New guy here. Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead. Wonderful write-up on the headlights - props to westcoaststyle! :cheers: I've been thinking of doing this to my ride but have a question as to the paint everyone used.
When everyone mentioned Duplicolor gunmetal, did you use the graphite wheel coating paint in the 11oz cans, or the gunmetal auto spray in the 5oz cans? Judging from the color in the pics it appears to be the wheel paint. Just looking for some help.
Thanks all.
