Well I finally decide to repaint my headlight buckets. LMKWYT
Not the best job. But I think it will do for now.

Before.


After.

 

Need shots from farther away...

 

I will later. Doing a few other things first. And dont want to show them yet.

 

Ok. I will reserve judgement until then.

 

I'll go out on a limb and say it's better without seeing the whole thing, because I hate non-black buckets.

 

looks good so far, I would also paint the part that rolls over. Black headlight buckets are the only way to go on an LT1 Camaro

 

sorry but your z looked so much hotter before. paint them red again

 

I wish you would have completed the job and painted the circular area on the outside of the buckets too.

 

Yeah, it looks silly without the outer C part painted.

You definitely need some clear on top of that. It looks gray though, so I'm wondering if that's why you say it isn't the best job.

 

what kind of paint did you use and what did you do ?

what kind of prep work ?

 

Im going to leave it like it is. To be a little different.
I just decided to skip it.
I used a flat black spray can. Just tape every thing good. I have a few pics I can show.
I taped it first. Of course I took pics of it taped and paintrd black.

And heres pics of the paper prep.

 

Definetly looks better black, though I believe factory is satin black not flat.

 

I like it better all red!!

 

You did a nice neat job of masking it up,looks good .
Regards,Mark.

 

Nice work
