I think you would mask up the indicator section if you wanted this to remain chrome, once you've painted the surround.Quote:

Mullensxxx, we taped my friends up because thats how we saw them on ek9 pics we have.
There shouldnt be to much of a problem not taping them but like stated earlier in the thread EK4R sparyed gloss over the indicator section to create some extra reflections for the indicators since matt black isnt as reflective as plain chrome
Hope that helps.
ok cool, yeah im just a lazy f . . . just wanted 2 no thanks for the reply (Y)Quote:

paint the sucker its looks meaner :) btw EK9 headlight isnt actually black. its more grey/gunmetal tint than black. its reflective and shinny so if you after that look best to get a different colour. Personally black stands out more.
check my ek4r pic thread if you want more pix

yeah i was told to use that head light tint and just keep putting coats on it so u can decide what u want with out goin to the fully black look and spose would give u a look closer to the EK9 look imo
but yeah might give it a crack next weekend
