Nice job bro. I had to do mine twice due to a silicone leak- be sure you seal those suckers up really good.

I painted some lights and a grill black on an IP g37 yesterday. They came out great. I'm gonna post some pics of them soon.

Separating the lens is very easy. First find any screws that hold the lens and the headlight backing together and remove them. Second, set your oven to 215, put a cookie sheet on the lowest rack, and place the headlights on it for 10-15 minutes. After that just pry them apart.

it might be because of the place you painted it dust couldve gotten onto the paint while it dried. gotta try doing it in the cleanest place possible. i had the same problem when i painted my grill for my G.. got dust prticles on it and a hair. i was very upset.
