Got a few hours spare today so fancy tackling a job I've been putting off.
Currently got crystal clear headlights and black crystal side lights. Was searching for some black headlights to match the sides when somebody mentioned that it's possible to spray my current lights.
Was given some simple advice which involved an oven, masking tape, black paint and some silicone sealer.
Anybody got and tips and/or advice that will help me today, or even a step through guide from someone who has done it.

Thanks as always chaps,
Matt.

You should get a small show plate for the front matt and make a bracket like mine

Yea been thinking about moving the plate.

You need some crystal indicators in there Ryan. Other than that the car looks really nice, loving the bonnet.
What are those seats, CM edition ones ??

I did have crystal type one's matt but they started leaking inside so I went back to genuine subaru one's which never leak.
The seats are factory to my Prodrive edition but are also in the CM edition model yes.
Cheers mate the bonnet cost a few pennies though lol but does look sweet!
