Painted headlights and window tint complete

My first two mods are done - tinted windows and painted headlights. Here are a couple of photos:





Sorry for the poor quality on this last shot, but it was misting and no sooner than I got the lenses wiped off and they were already covered again:


I used Krylon Fusion stain finish black paint. It took 6 hours total to do the headlights, but I am pretty bad at painting so I had to do about 10 coats, because I kept seeing areas I had missed, with 15-30 minutes drying time between coats.

I think as long as you keep the black door handles and mirrors, the BLHM will keep the truck looking awesome
