I am thinking of getting headlight covers but they only come in white for the Celi. It is ABS plastic. Anyone have any ideas on the best way to paint plastic?
Primer/paint/clearcoat?

Primer/paint/clearcoat? go to a body shop an do it right, I would not suggest a DIY on exterior body parts. It should cost around $100 to have the pros paint them.

could even be less, the parts your talkin about are small. In fact PM RicePowered ask him what he paid to have his painted.

Thanks, I was thinking a pro job was the way to go in terms of painting . . .
Hey, Ricepowered - where did you get your TRD eyelids and what did they set you back?
