bjbinsjo Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 got a black one (sts), and as i was sipping a beer the other day admiring my car and thinking what a sweet ride i've got, it came to me in a flash. what if i could paint all the flat chrome stuff (except the reflectors surfaces) in the headlight clusters BLACK. it would bee totally cool. the other idea is the chrome trim around the side windoows and front grill. ALL BLACK! ALL COOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ero1220 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I have seen this done on a 98 or 99 Polo Green Seville - it looked very cool. I've been toying with this idea on mine but I'm starting to think it might only look good on a darker car (I have White Diamond) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ero1220 Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 lol just to clear up... I was going to go in there with WHITE paint, not black. I would definitely be drinking the wrong beer if I went with the latter. I photoshopped this into a few photos of my car and decided it wasn't the best look for me.

TDK Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 bjbinsjo, To try the blackout look out (even if on one only side ), Clean the chrome or whatever, let the car warm a bit in the garage, then cover the chrome with black electrical tape. Don't stretch it and be careful cutting it to not scratch the paint or polished aluminum. Sounds kinda funky, but should give you an idea of what it would look like. Hold on the beer until you are done... The tape lines might be straighter... if they arn't, then more beer later will compensate anyway. Add power to leave problems behind. Most braking is just - poor planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbuc Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I managed to dig this thread up, over at the CadillacForums website. This is a picture someone posted of their headlight, with blacked out chrome around the lenses. It's on a 2000 STS. http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26526 Hope this helps.
