front bumper reflector question
Hey everyone, i recently ordered the black housing reflectors off of thezstore and got em in the mail yesterday...boy was i disappointed, they aren't black at all!! they look like gray carbon fiber...i have a silverstone and wanted to get a nice scheme going with my black rims and soon to come black lip...instead of returning the reflectors, could i just get em blacked out using the same process they use for tailights/headlights, etc.?
any pointers/tips much appreciated
heres the product by the way:

i guess u get what u pay for...

put the grey ones in an buy black overlays to go on top of them the sell them on ebay I know that for like under 10 bucks
If you keep your orange reflectors in and put the overlays on it will still have a hint of orange and some angles so switch them out then put overlays on it will look like what you want
hope this helped

Forgot to mention in my above post that krylon fusion is what I used for my side markers. Yes, walmart has all different colors and shades of it.

dont knock the z store for sending you something that looks exactly like the picture. I ordered the same thing and the picture is an accurate depiction of what you receive. They are black at the base, but the refraction through the clear diamond shaped plastic makes it appear lighter, which should be obvious.
but yeah, if its not dark enough, then tint them
