 :popcorn:    good question, I've thought about painting mine also but can't figure a good way to tape them off so they look good? Maybe 1/4 tape first to get it round?

They are off the car. I was going to put masking tape on the inside of the headlight opening so it sticks straight up about a quarter inch. Then spray and remove the tape. I plan on using sem trim black. I will post pics tomorrow.
