Or Metalcast wheel paint. http://www.pivco.net/index.php?main_page...ts_id=2250
It also appears the inside surround was painted a darker shade to gray. All very easy to do.
Gota love Mercedes Diesels!

(05-06-2014, 04:27 PM)Druk Paint the reflectors or the inside of the lenses? Not the actual silvered reflectors surely?
Yep, I know the issues, but it is the silvered reflectors.

24volts give that yellowish light, and the LED the Blueisch tint.
but that depends on how yellow you want the fogs.,
how i have it myself, can get pictures.
i have it mostly to not need to change anything like, forever, the 24volts live long, as do the LED.

Perhaps the tubular & wood slat roof rack I have in mind will balance out the shit-ratio?
Installed:
OM606/722.6, big IC, W220 brakes.
Planned:
DIY manifold, compound, 722.6 controller, built IP.
[i]Less rust.. [/i]

09-10-2015, 02:58 PM #11I did it to my fog reflectors with glass paint and it looks great. Got some Osram yellow fog buster bulbs too to complete the look. Would post a picture, but these days I just cant with my iPad for some reason.....
