what paint to use in smoking head lights

[BobbyT]

word up yarll! just need some advice, i am thinking of stripping down the boras head lights and spraying some of the chrome matt black, now what paint can i use, i was just thinking of using plastic primer and normal matt black but i am not sure if this will take the heat, does anyone know if this will be ok or what else i should use!

I'd imagine it'd be hard to get the paint to key, you'll need a high temp etch primer or something like that.

here's a guide to help you... http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3000249 all though it just lists "high temp semi matt paint" that'll be satin engine paint then??

Just be careful that the masking tape doesn't take the chrome off the reflectors...Yes, it happened to me, now i've got huge yellow patches in my headlights....if I were you, I'd brush it on
