Painted my 04's Fog lights

So I followed Darren's instructions on his post from a while back. I would have to agree that this was one of the biggest PITA mods I have done so far. having to stick each piece of tape on something cotton at least 4 or 5 times. Not to mention that it was hard to get the tape in there especially with my fat fingers and big hands. I used krylon fusion paint in the matte black. Anyways here are some pics:

Just Masked them:


First Light Coat:


2nd Coat:


Last Coat


Before w/o foglights:


First Light in:


Both In: *sorry for pics are really reflective it was really bright out


Close-Up:


My left light was broken, so I JB Welded it together and now it is good to go

I love seeing more painted fog lamps. Looks great. Looks like you did well on keeping the paint low adhesive, I do not see any black spots :thumbsyup: Looks a little funny without your headlamps painted though, I have my OEM chrome headlamps and I decided to put them on one day and it looked pretty funny.

Thanks Guys, Darren I have my Black Headlights on the way from Lordfeyr, he is doing them for me like others have done through the classifieds. I don't have enough time to do my own because its a DD, and I go to school and work everyday.

Here are some pics of one of the lights:



He's buffing the lights for me and sending them out today or tomorrow..I can't wait to throw them on

haha sorry I got the bug ....I have no days off I call those "mod days" or "truck days" ...next HIDs then done for a while....so i think

What do y'all suggest to clean the lenses on the fogs ? They insides of the lenses were pretty much shot...I will get new foglights eventually and do this again if it bothers me enough

Heard that. Each semester let's just say I get back quite a large lump sum from Clemson because of excess scholarships. It spells trouble.

Clean the inside or outside? What are you cleaning?
