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

Notice the edges around the headlights, signals, and taillights

Before:










After:












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.

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

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

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.
