It took me about an hour to get everything off the truck and disassembled. So total time might be under a half a day, since it you have to let the paint set up. I think mineral gray would look great, ive seen a solar yellow truck that did the same and it looks sweet so yours should too. Joel

I am going to start mine tomorrow when I get home from work..

I will let you know how it goes.

BTW I am going to paint mine Graphite, and I think mineral would look awesome also.

Floridacracker, I was told that using some self etching primer and painting it would hold up, yah it didnt. Its going in to be sand blasted and powder coated in a couple days. I would paint it white i think that would look sweet.

There's also the Mopar Niterunner headlights that you can get at any Dodge dealer if your truck is an '06.

Well, I just got done reassembling my headlights. I have a white truck so I painted them white. It's dark out now so I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to install them on the truck. That Fusion plastic spray paint works very well.

Post the pics when you can!

The only time they gave me troubles was when I was putting the freshly painted part back in the lens cover without scratching off the new paint. When I put them in the oven, I baked the 2nd @ 225 degrees on convection and it apart real easy with a little help from the screwdriver. And like you said, getting all that old RTV off is a bear. I'd like to de-badge, but I'm afraid of the screwdrive to vehicle paint mis hap . Is there an easy way to do it?

i heard to use fishing line

And a hair dryer. Heat up the glue for a few minutes with the dryer then run the fishing line behind the badges. Wear gloves though, i tore some nice deep cuts in my fingers draggin that line behind the badges.

Yep what they said, finshing line works great.
