Gray out lights

So, I have a 2006 FX4 with the white and dark shadow gray. I really do like the blackout look, but not on my truck with the white. I decided to gray out my headlights to match the Dark shadow gray.
I started with a base of the flat krylon fusion and then added a silver as a top coat. I think they match the truck gray really well, but it is dark here so I will really see tomorrow.
The splitting of the lights wasn't too bad. But, the pain in the @#% was removing all the old silicone. Holy cow.
Well here they are

All done and mounted. Here are the pics. I am thinking about going to the junk yard and trying again. The color is awesome. There are just some flaws in workmanship that I know about. I think they turned out pretty darn good though.






I will get some more pics tomorrow when it is sunny

I think they look good. I also like how you left the parts around the lights chrome but painted the main part grey. Still will reflect the light good, and looks great!
