who paints headlights?

I want mine done on my 09 and I have read all the stuff about how to do it, etc. but I don't trust myself enough. so that being said-who paints and sells them. I knew mattp did a while back. still not too sure.

I want black with a red reflector or red with a black reflector. lemme know guys.

I would try it yourself, it's not hard to do at all. It made me feel like I accomplished something for once. Worst case pry them apart and give the bezels to someone who you trust to paint. Much cheaper than paying someone for labor and shipping.

I know Matt does them, what about the utlonghorn guy?

I've thought a lot about it. doing it myself isnt happening. and I wasn't too sure bout utlonghorn considering he's been doing 11's. haven't asked.

I have done a few sets and I guess could do them for you, but I say try it. Its not really all that bad.

I'm right there with you man. I want to do mine, because I could get the grey color like on my bumpers with smoked reflector. I even bought the colormatched paint. But I just can't bring myself to pull them apart. I don't think I have the patience, and I'm concerned I'll put the tiny cracks everywhere in the lens. I've just about decided that I'm going to either buy the Harleys, or the cheaper recon look alikes because I can't afford the downtime without headlights.

For what it's worth, spatel had his done by true bliss customs out of California. You can google them. I think he said it was like 250ish or something. They also did a set for a truck identical to yours a while back. Made it red with black reflector and it looked trick as hell. I'm sure they'd send you pics. Somethin else to think about they also color matched his vents and it looked sick as well. I just color matched mine this weekend and it looks way more clean now.

It is just as easy as color matching your vents. I pryed the hell out of mine to be honest and they didnt crack once. It will take you 30 mins to have them apart. The most time consuming thing is getting all the old adhesive out of the channel, but a heat gun makes that easy. Then apply promoter, paint, clear and seal them up. Trust me if i can do it, you can.

Ive never checked but do eagle eyes offer an 08 light? My friend did his 05 eagle eyes and they were both apart within 5 minutes with the crappy sealant they use.

I defientaly don't trust myself to pull apart my headlights. I wish there was a decent paint shop around me that could do it for me. True Bliss does do awesome work though, but I'm not sure what I would do without headlights for 2 weeks

That is a crazy turnaround time when you can do it yourself in two days with drying.

I'm skeered and wouldn't even know where to start

lol well ill tell you guys what, i have a sprare set for when i did mine. I was about to put them in classifieds if someone wants to borrow them while they have theirs done.

yes!! that'd be awesome. id grab shipping up and back. cause I don't wanna have downtime, nor do I want to send my 10k mile headlights in as a core and receive a 60k mile pair. but I might try and find somewhere closer to the east coast. the downtime to ca and back would be killer. even if I had a spare set.

on the color, I think red with a black reflector would look slick. the badges-I'm gonna have a local paint guy that painted my old trucks bed, color match the vents.

I don't think eagle eye has them.. but I bought a set of 05 harleys from them for my 03 with harness, and they worked great.

Generous guy! Very cool man.

I was going to suggest getting a spare set to run while you do them, takes time to do them right, then once your done, sell them for what you paid no harm done really.

Its time consuming spliting them, but now that i have done a set the next set wasnt that bad, i helped 97singlecab with his, we did them in an evening.

Thanks, just trying to makes things easier on everyone. I did blue with a black reflector. I think red with a black reflector would flow great on a red truck. When your ready to go through with it, I'll send them out. Just don't know how long until I need them back to sell for monies, I'm sure I can wait. They're harleys too so that's a plus lol.

We did my vents not too long ago with a syringe.

Those vents look killer bro

Thanks! I was happy the way they turned out. I was on a painting jones earlier. Headlights, mirrors, bumpers, vents, two tone delete, symptoms of an addict lol.

I agree.....those vents look great.

Armen at TrueBliss does great work and I highly recommend him. Ive told him about this site so maybe he will chime in.

trying to find closer to the east coast, and really wantin to soon. someone help me out. UTlonghorns doesnt do it currently also.
