Painted my Depos
I had the idea way before I saw axl's on MBWorld but he beat me to it
. Amazing that we had the same idea and he's way over in Germany. Anyway, I had to take my Zam upgrade apart because the chrome shroud fell off inside the headlight
. I figured I might as well see if I could paint them to match the car. Also used JB Weld on the shrouds!

Nope - they are silver. The last two pics are of them on the car. My cell phone camera isnt the best - they look much better in person.

Thats the tape I placed over the signal light reflector to mask it off from the paint. That and the bezel parts are still "chrome" while the rest has been painted silver. I used a home made spray booth using tape, coat hanger, and a cardboard box.

Thanks! I thought the original was too much so when the bezel fell off I used the chance to paint them. They look much better in person.
