Painted light surrounds (pics)
 

I just did this today!!! Except for the headlights. I did those last week.

Notice the edges around the headlights, signals, and taillights

I masked the lenses with tape and then painted the edges with Krylon Fusion gloss black.



*EDIT: changed a couple pictures.**

Taillights look much better, but it is difficult to see what was done to the headlights.

Ok I'll see if I can find a better before picture and I'll edit the post and put it in there.

*EDIT*
Foundtwo at almost the same angle as the other.

Doesn't take long, costs about $8... why not?

Looks good, nice detail. Did you do them on or off the truck?

RE: Painted light surrounds (pics)
 

Off of course. Didn't want to risk any overspray.

It's the details that stand out, good job!

Thanks. I'm trying to figure out what else to paint since I'm getting better at it.

Anything that's chrome->black. That's my opinion of course.
