Every once in awhile we stumble across something so simple, yet undiscovered, we slap our head and say-"hey-why didn't I think of that before?"
The last couple of builds have had the headlights part of the grille work assembly, and all have been chromed. This question has been asked numerous times on many boards, with a bunch of suggestions, but not the one I found.
I used Model Master Semi White Acrylic paint, almost unstirred, and just dipped the brush in the top part of the paint (it almost looks like milk-un shaken or stirred).
Dab, or paint your "lenses", and you will probably have to do this 3, maybe 4 times to get the effect, as this is so thin and weak, it won't look like much the first couple of times. What you don't want though, is to just dab a bunch of white paint on the lense, it will look painted. I have some pics just waiting to get posted, then I'll shoot a couple here for reference. Looks pretty good.
