Question White Out

Does anyone know the best way I could go about taking all the chrome pieces around the headlights and taillights and making them Light White to match the paint color?

Thanks,
Kyle

earl scheib will do it without you even asking...

seriously though, remove them and send them to a paint shop with your paint code.

If you're going to remove them and send them, you might consider sending them to VinylStyles - great way to wrap stuff, up to the whole car...

Kyle, if your looking towards paint get the code via your vin #. and we'll get them done for you! Or as ghamma mentioned, wrapping might be a the way I'd go. PM if interested.

Don't have any recommendations on "how to," but as a show of support I am planning to do this EXACT same thing: Whiteout on the HL/TL rings, and blackout on the belt line, door handles, and grille surround.

Lyle is making the trip down to San Diego in early July to do the work for me and some other area locals, I'm sure. (Except he still hasn't told me what kind of beer he likes to sip.)

If Lyle isn't planning an East Coast trip in the near future, I'd recommending shipping them to him. I haven't seen his craftsmanship in real life yet, but if it is anything like his customer service, it will be A++ top notch. He is a great guy!
