*Flat tinted headlights, tails and other painted crap*

[LuDamiKE81]

I finally got around to tinting the head lights, tails, bumper reflectors, painted a few interior pieces and my intake at 2am the night before the show. I still havent made up my mind to spray the wheels all flat or just the inserts.

Heres some before and after pics. Im probably going to sand the headlights down and polish them again they arent too bright with the tinted windsheild.
Quick engine bay wash with light water sprinkle.

Painted intake tube.

Headlights before

Tails before

scuffing with 400 before prep and spraying

Still pretty bright at night

I had paint left in the gun, so i sprayed a few more pieces.

Sorry but....:xpl:

But to each his own:coolman:

 

[mwilliams84]

I like everything but the headlights

 

[Chrome98Cobra]

Sorry bud but that looks like shit

 

[BreBar21]

I have to agree. The heads and tails both just look super oxidized.

 

[Boostin01Slobra]

what happened?!

 

[Hmbre97]

IMO, I would get a set of smoked eBay headlamps for everyday use and completely black out your current headlights so it matches the car. That would look awesome.


Edit: Like this

I like the before look. It looks like everything has that haze which usually gets on the headlights.

Do you want honest opinions?

If your goal was to destroy your car, you have now reached that point.

Terrible paint job, the headlights and tails look horrible, the wheels look bad with the paint, the missing tail pipes with the shaved rear bumper looks funny, and if your goal was for a murdered out or stealth look, then you missed the point because it doesn't have that look. It just looks like a mustang that was wrecked badly and primered up.

The good news is if you spray lights with a couple light, light coats of Niteshades or other tint, you can fix it. I liked it before, dude. Props for trying something new, but I'm not feelin it.

I do love the flat black paint, though.

:nonono:

I thought headlights and tailights were suppose to be glossy:shrug:

paint the wheel to complete the look but as it sits right now, ima have to agree with most of the people here you were better off with tint heads and tails. And yes please get some tail pipes on the car. You need a different color to accent the flat black, repaint the bottom part of the rear bumper the black it came with stock and it may look better.

I like it...but the right wheels will make it insane looking.

To each his own mate... not my cup of tea. :beer:

 

[silverbullit]

Ehhhh over kill

 

[N2DAMYSTIC]

I might be swayed if I saw a nice wheel combo on there.

 

[F8LBITEva]

meh, its alright but I could understand the whole "F it all" look a little bit more if it was like a 800HP monster. But if you like it ,thats all that matters.

I know these matte finishes are becoming popular but honestly, shouldn't paint be shiny? and the painted lights looks like someone forgot to tape off the car before painting it. Sorry but me no like at all.

 

[kingcobra10]

no offense man, have never liked the flat paint at all.

but to each his own. and very original
