Can i ask what way youre doin this mate? I'm a bit muddled about the primer since its glass i'm sprayin rather than the good old plastic. eek.
charz.
dunno if were on bout the same thing on the outside of the new lexus lights with the black background there's a silver trim which looks shite on my motor so im painting over the silver so its flip but will still have most of light clear as usual - that make sense to u? - dont to me

if your that bothered about it do what the guy said above.... mask off the main part of the light and spray the edges.....
you could even do like a fade effect(if you know what i mean) so it looks like the bodycolour fades into the light housing
just a thought
