painted my rs2 lights

[Jamo]

I just used the plain black gloss hammerite.

How long does it take to do this and for the paint to dry?

I looked at my lights and they seemed to be sealed (wanted to this last december, never got round to it).

I was going to do it last week but didnt manage to get paint in time. To open the lights up just pop the holding clips off with a flat screwdriver and remove the glass.

I am going to experiment with having the sidelight area black too.

It is a bit fiddly because there are a couple of places that you dont want paint to get on, so they cant be sprayed. Took about an hour or so then left to dry overnight.
I can show you tomorrow how i did mine.
