    Q for those who have done DIY lowers painting

    I know a few have used something like a duplicolor spray paint, but I'm trying to find out the color used that matches silver the closest. If you know, please post.

    Not for lowers painting, but since I have multiple sets of headlights now, I'm starting to mess with some ideas and I want to do a couple things color-wise on the cheap just to get a feel for how it might look. If I like it, then I'll spring for real paint when the final decision is made on how to color the interiors.

    I have the low-beam projectors cut out of old headlight housings. I'm going to start forming them in to the new e-code housings in place of the high beams for "dual projectors". Different variations of interior paint next "just to see". I know I'm keeping the bulb housing area dark, but I may experiment with the smooth strip along the bottom of the front part of headlight in silver to match the car. I've seen it on a white B7, and it looked sick. So I'm going to ghetto it first and see if I like it. I'm doing a second set with all of the plastic just inside of the clear housing in silver, and the bulb housing all dark.
    I know what it looks like with everything dark, so we'll see.

    And LED's to match the shape of the B8 pattern in last.
