| I painted my friends rs6 conversion civic headlights with just black spray paint. It came out great, you couldn't tell it was painted at all. The only hard/ annoying part was putting the lights in the oven to take the front lens off. |

| heat the oven up to 300 degres... turn the oven off..... put the headlight in on a damp towel... let sit in hot oven for 15 min.... take headlight out, pry apart, take silver metalic finished part out, scuff up the silver metalic finish with 600 grit.... paint... paint again... put all together again... heat oven up to 300 again.. turn oven off.... pop headlight back in on a damp towel..... wait 15 min... take headlight out.... squeeze back together.... and repeat for the other headlight

| you def shouldnt use roll on paint, it wount leave you with even a remotely smooth finish. Use some black spray paint and do like 2 coats then a coat of clear so it shines. It should be pretty simple

OR: Just hit up any decent paint store and have them mix up the proper paint for you in a spray can. If I were you, I'd do a matching silver and be the biggest baller on YOUR street...do it today...no...NOW.
