Im thinking of taping up my headlights and and painting up a set of eye lids... what type of oil would i have to use? oil based, Spray or brush?

I photoshopped a picture to get an idea...
BEFORE


AFTER

Blackout tape on mine works pretty good.Will crack on you after a while though.Still a cheap and replacable way to go.

im curious wheither or not paint will chip off during summer or even winter.. hmmm

I used a couple thin coats of spray paint made for plastics.The paint is really resilient and won't crack. But it is on the front end of your car so chipping could just happen Just have to make sure it'* clean and scuffing up the area you want to paint doesn't hurt. Using thin coats works to best until it blacks out. Lighter colors might have the light bleed through so a dark color primer might be needed before adding the color. But I would go spray paint.

I would use a product called "VHT night shades"


It'* black when lights are off but when lights are on it doesn't restrict your vision.

Cool idea though

aah thats pretty neat... if i get my hands on that "VHT night shades" ill tint my tail lights and make a pair of eye lids with masking tape.

i used that vht spray to tint my taillights. works good. looks really good too

Well cant find any of that VHT spray so im gonna pick up some plastic paint and some clear coat.
Im gonna use this: will give it a chunky look, it says its not gonna crack, or peel so we'll see about that... im gonna have to sand abit
