Blacked out the front of my 744t this last week. I started with the grille slash by scuffing the crap out of the fake chrome and badge, and then applied about eight coats of some generic plastic paint (called Plasti-Kote here in the UK). Then followed the headlight trim which eventually turned out all right, so I was thinking might as well do the turn signals.. I mean you can't go wrong can you? I very lightly sprayed them two coats, after sanding them down to get rid of those little crosshair marks and so the paint will stick well.

did the same to the North American version for the headlights. Have a turbo grill now but you get the idea. Spliced in a 3 way corner light for turn & driving lights.

I'm all for painting things black... But I like the before pics better maybe you need some brows on the headlights
