Could someone please make a how-to for painting the front fog lights as I am interested in doing mine black. I know the general 20 mins in the oven to split them, its just how do you paint them/spray, what is used and is anything masked over parts of the light to create a flawless finish.
Any tips would be great.

im pretty sure you can just take the silver bit that needs painting out of the lights once you have split them open so no need to mask anything im unsure but maybe use high temperature paint as the parts may got hot if the lights are on for a prolonged period but i wouldnt expect your fogs to be on for that long.

Why just mask of the bumper and use tinting spray?
