Painted headlight bezel

[northstar11]

Hey guys,
I'm thinking about taking my headlight apart and doing the angel eyes. While I have it apart tho, I would like to paint the bezel to mach the car. Has enyone done this, and have pictures of it?

Yeah, somebody has done it, and I think he posted pictures here (but it could have been at LLSOC). It was a light-colored LS, a champagne or light tan color.

As for how it looked, I wasn't overly thrilled with it, but it might look better on a darker color. Maybe someone can find it; IIRC, it was in one of the angel eyes threads.

When Ken did my angel eye and I had him paint mine black to match my color look @ my P.G.

Wow, I was just about to start this same thread lol
I had a question as well: Won't the paint crack, etc. when you put the headlight back in the oven to seal it?

No. I was worried about that as well when I did mine a few months ago. I did mine in steps. I put the headlight in the oven with out the bezel, took it out and put them together. Then I put the whole asslembly in the oven for a few minutes to make the seal complete.

Here is mine with the painted grille and license plate bracket painted also:
