Need some opinions on painting my light housings.....

Want to paint the housings but dont know what colour to do.. I cant do aviator grey because the colour doesnt exist in a spray can. What other colour do you guys think would work?....or should I just leave them

Thanks

Re:

It *can* be done well, so that the car looks like it was meant to be that way. A decent paint shop in your area could do them the right color (AG) if you got it apart. Mine was more than happy to help me take things apart. You're left with the black outline around the edge of the headlight, so unless you plan to do a lot of masking and paint that too (on the inside as well as the outside), it's gonna show up well against the lighter (AG) painted part.

Don't be afraid to talk to some local paint guys.

Cheers,
