Painted Headlamps

Rice371 · 12-29-2009, 02:29 PM

I know some of you guys have painted headlamps in your cars, and I was wondering can they be purchased or did you have to have them done by someone?

airbrushed headlamps are the popular way to go

A company called Protronics use to make several varieties of headlight decals. (The also made a practice tree.) I believe Jeg's may have been or still is selling them.

Craig,back in the day when the famed"Rosebush Brothers" were painting theirs,I believe that they used candy apple colors from a rattle can.

Myron, I could be off base, but I think he's after the tinted treatment like the Marshall's use on their Stockers.
