Headlamp shell repaint

#1 PostAuthor: Oggers » Thu Aug 20, 2020 1:50 pm

Chaps

What do we think for the headlamp shell - gloss or satin black? Gloss for show, satin for a pro? No chrome please either! Far too blingy.....

Satin black is the correct finish.

Yes satin is correct, but....Probably the way to go though.

Satin black, the same shade as the tail light bracket!
