Alright these were taken in my garage, since its just been raining, the color matches perfectly, heres a pic wit lights and w/o lights ( srry big pics dnt know how to rezise them) and a bad camera 2, And alot of people be looking at my headlights all the time now lol

 

Lookin' good rotary. I got my eyelids yesterday and laid down the paint and clearcoat on them last night, so I will probably mount them this evening once it's cooled down a bit.

I haven't really compared the paint match yet by putting them side by side, but from examining the eyelids on their own, it looks like it should be a very good match. I'll be sure to get some pictures up when I get them on.

Also, as a quick tip for painting, in case anyone needs it - always start spraying BEFORE you are actually over the piece you're painting, as starting the paint flow over the part will typically put down a thicker layer at your starting point. If you want to start in the middle of the part, start moving the can before you start spraying.

 

Color match from the spray paint from www.automotivetouchup.com - I am pretty darn happy with the color.

just got mine in

 

yours look better then mine, i might have to repaint them

 

very agressive.

 

I think the key was that I went a bit overboard on the paint. I was actually worried I had over-painted, but it turned out great. I used 4 coats each (4-6 passes each) of the basecoat and clearcoat, and the match was phenomenal. It's also possible I was just lucky and got a great batch of paint too.

 

Do the eyelids affect the throw of the lights at all?

 

I have the evo-r eyelids

 

Is there a way to get these pre-painted? I have no trust whatsoever in painting them well myself.

 

any word on where I might be able to pick some up for an '09?

 

your ride looks alot like t-rex-8's. how long did it take you to get your eyelids from evoR?

 

about a week
