That's a lot of lights! I like lights. As for chrome vs paint depends in what else will be chrome. I like chrome but not overkill chrome.. Hard to say

My first instinct would be to say paint it. When I look at it I think of Younggunz black Pete or John's roll off Pete. Both nice examples of painted visors and with the lights I think would look wicked

Nice looking rig, Goose! I'm building a KH just like this one. How did you make the styrene boxes to house the headlights, and the buckets themselves? Thanks.

they are cut out of the stock chrome KH rear bumper, you will only have to make the clear lenses to cover the front.

The paint looks great. The masking really gave you some clean lines. What kind of tape did you use? I always seem to have problems with clean lines and bleed through. I had the best luck with Pactra masking tape!

well, got a coat of clear on it, and some assembly done. will need to "tint" the windows, i thought they would be darker. i have a grill made but i need to get a new moisture trap for my compressor/airbrush before i can spray the chrome paint.

enjoy!

i actually used automotive pinstriping to mask the lines, i find 1/8 is the best for curves/bends.
also then you put masking tape over the pinstriping to cover a larger area, make sure you pull the pinstriping before the paint is too dry, leaves a nice clean line!
