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.

Re: Head light buckets
Does plasti dip have a satin clear? Instead of flat, the correct look would be satin. If your goal was for flat, then it came out looking good!!

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.
