Painting headlight housing

Does anyone in Houston know any place or anyone that can paint the housing in my headlights and maybe lends swap for a good price? I checked around the forum and didn't find any solutions :/

What part of Houston are you in? I can show you how to open your headlights and swap the lens, but I'm not going to be responsible for painting if.

You can call Raul g custom in California. You just have to mail out your headlights. He is very reasonable on price in my opinion. I'm sending mine out next week.

not sure if you are aware but there have been few pretty bad reviews on his work on this forum as well as the370z and his attitude.
if you are sending them out might as well send to 180 in NY

Yeah but 180 is an arm and a leg. Not saying im cheap it's just that if I send it to 180 I'm not going to not add on the awesome stuff... Just trying to keep it simple.

If you plan on keeping things simple are you sure you don't want to try doing it yourself?
Here's a nice write up Anthony put together that should take out most of the guesswork

If you have a spare weekend that should be all it takes and that includes plenty of time for beer

It's not the effort, I'll sweat and bleed with any other guy out there, but I just don't want to give you a promise, take your money, and deliver anything less than exactly what you wanted. It's not fair to you, and I'd feel bad about taking your money. I also accept payment in beer and rides to/from the airport when I go on trips, lol.

I'm not too far from you, i10 and beltway 8, pick out a weekend (not this one), and we can probably get you all lined out.
