Head light buckets
Hello everyone, I've been up in the air about painting my headlight buckets for a long time. I like the look of the color of the car but I also like the look of the black buckets also. So I decided to paint them with the flat black spray Plasti dip, that way if I have the option of going back to color of car I can just peel it off. Came out nice.

It does look good. Since the plasti dip is thicker than paint has it left a lip or ridge where the paint starts in the bucket? I thinking of doing this to the camaro I'm doing to avoid buying a whole quart of black.

Thanks, yes it does leave a lip, but it's not as bad as you think it would be. I used three coats on it and went as close as I could to the inside edge where it would be less noticeable.
