So I bought some crystal headlights from work earlier, and stripped them down for painting instead of answering the phones like I should...
Just wondering If anyone's seen any pics of anything colour coded to their car. i.e red on a red car, blue on a blue car etc...

Just found out its china blue on mine. Not the one in my avatar pic, gotta new one now 
If I respray the insert, staz999 reckons I need to bake it afterwards in the oven so the heat from the bulbs doesn't blister the paint?
Also, do I need to worry about priming and lacquering or can I get away with just sanding then spraying?
