Anyone interested in a pair of non AFS BO painted headlights?
Actually, I have been thinking about doing something similar but I just can't decide between BO and Flat Black. How does the BO in the light seem to match the BO on the car?

And I can't decide if I want to paint the area around the turn signal BO / FB as well? I got the picture I attached in my head....X-Vert did this one as well and posted the picture. I am leaning OB, but too many choices.

You'd have to ask Igor (X-Vert) as he did the wonderful work. I didn't ask what kind of paint is but it looks great.

I meant what brand of paint not the color I guess. I would PM x-vert but x-vert and choy boy are ignoring my PMs, haha. Thanks though.

X-Vert is apparently quite busy and not the easiest guy to reach via PM here.

Black is black to me. The glossy black looks great on the BO. I don't have a clue about the brand. There is no Infiniti brand paint, it could be from a spray can for all I know or care, so long as it looks good and holds up.

Yep. No pictures yet but they look amazing. I'll get some tomorrow or Wednesday, but my grille is out so my car looks weird.

If you like the look when I post pics, you can have these once I get my other set done.

It's a tiger dumbazz, leopards have spots not stripes. Oh how our school has school system failed us!

Besides, I doubt it was poached as it's made of 100% synthetic fibers.

Good point. I think that Black Betty's to-be-posted pictures might make up my mind.
