Painted Headlights and Grill on AG Coupe

Thanks to John (aka Finagle69) doing about 99% of the work, I got my lights and Grill painted on my coupe. The fog light housing and headlight shroud thingy is painted a pearl like graphite, the pearl doesn't show up very well in the picture, but in person it is a very close color match to amethyst graphite. It looks way better in person. Painting the Grill and the Headlights took pretty much the whole entire day. John and I started at about 8 in the morning and didn't get done till a little over 12 hours later. Thanks again John for putting up with me for that long... HAHA...

Yeah, the fog housing was painted with the gunmetal pearl color.

It's not very reflective, and just kind of gives the housing an yellow/orange glow. I keep my Fog's off mostly. I do need to replace the city lights with a whiter/blueish bulb.

I'll take some pics at night when i get a chance.

Nice.

I've been wondering how blacked out headlights and grill would look on AG.

Now you've got to paint the lower grilles to make the entire front end look as good as what you've done.
