Painted headlights pics

I figured I'd try this after reading the write up by blackf150337 on the home page. So far, so good. I started yesturday seperating the lights, I painted last night and let them set for a good 24hrs. Now everything is back together and I'm waiting on the adhesive to dry. i'll post up more pics when I put the lights back on.

Man that looks so sweet I want to do this SO bad but I dunno if im comfortable. How hard was the chrome to get off? Did you have any issues with the plastic deforming.

Thanks. No problem with the chrome or the plastic. I'd never done anything like this before. I followed the write up instructions and was very patient with it and didn't rush anything. I had to "bake" both lights twice before I got them seperated. The only thing I did different was I used a small putty knife instead of a screw driver to help seperate the adhesive after I took it out of the oven. I also painted my reflector instead of using the nighshade paint. My materials only cost me 28 bucks at the local Advanced Auto. Here's the link I used.

Yours too, if you use commas instead of using enter on your text it will make your sig about 2 lines instead of 12 lines. Just a friendly F150online suggestion.
