Gen6 Has anybody painted their headlights to match...

Has anyone here painted their headlights to match their color of their car? I don't mean like a flat black with a black Camry. I mean with the actual color matched (by the paint code) the same as their car?

Yeah like the Ferrari's. I'm at a crossroads right now. I have my color 1F7 in front of me right now (and clear to go with it) and a flat black also. I keep going back and forth as to wich to use. I have my headlights apart, masked and 2 coats of the plastic primer on them. And I just can't make up my mind. I have about 30 minutes before I need to choose. Decisions decisions...

I went with the color match silver. 2 coats of color, waiting for the 1st coat of clear to tack up and then 1 more final coat of clear. I need to get it all back together tomorrow morning so I can go get my rims put on in the afternoon. Gonna be a busy morning because I also need to install my HID heads & fogs while I have everything apart. The K&N setup showed up today also but I think that will have to wait for another day.
