Only way your going to get that white to match is to have a shop paint it up. Cost like $80.00 for me but i had them paint the pillars flat black also.

Exclamation Re: grey area headlights/eyelids paint

Hey papilonious,

I would have been the first to PM you about this, but I don't have enough posts to PM just yet. Can you PM me with you email or details please?

Thanks.

If anyone is interested, I'll send out a few prototype vinyls for a very low cost. I just want to see how these work for someone that's never done it before. Send me a pm.
