dont smoke the plastic front bit! mask the silver bit inside it comes out once you open up the lights  just paint it black or your other option is to buy some masked valeos instead

Nice work Amy :D,your brother is lucky to have you ;),looks like OEM not a DIY
You need to be careful when you take the cover out,and don't leave it in the oven for soooo long,it will melt,and as they said,spray the metalic part as Amy did :),OR buy an original Valeo ones :D-I would go by this choice if I were you,good luck anyway.

Personally i would smoke the front, looks better on black cars
Seen it done on a black hawkeye scooby, looks smexy as 
Tint the laquer used, specalist job if you want it done right

I have black masked valeos on mine cost me £150 posted found them on ebay and the image you pointed out i think they are black masked, don't know wether or not its a diy job or the proper ones.
If you do them yourself its hard to tell the difference anyway i think apart from the seals round the edges being a bit rough from where you have to get them off but no one see's that bit when the bonnet is closed
there's a pic of mine in my perfect picture topic i think
Black masked valeo's 3rd pic
