Can I paint my Depos

[Ftrsavage]

Can I open my Depos to paint them black? And my bumper light?

You can paint anywhere that a bulb does not need a reflective surface, i.e. the high beam would need at least the bowl around the bulb left unpainted.

How would I open my headlights to paint it?

Yes, heat gun and a set of screwdrivers or the baking method. You should also retro a better HID projector and go HID

Wat about the bumper lights? Can I bake them open too? I want to paint the housing black and remove the amber.

Yes to all these questions. Bake 200-220 for 5 minutes a time. Use butter knife and flat head screw driver.
Also if you want black all you need to do it spay oven cleaner on the chrome and it will reveal a gloss black finish underneath.
I did a few sets in my build thread.

I thought that all Depos were black? I thought that was the whole point. A guy by the login "Whistler" on an Fbody forum figured out the baking method, and painted all the chrome black. I had always planned on doing that to the headlights on my Camaro. I changed from the faded stockers, to angel eye halos, and then when the lenses were done on those, I went to ebay. Low and behold! Depo headlights, already black and ready to go! Saw the name Depo on some Fbody related pages, and according to them, Depos were the headlights with the blacked out reflectors. This is the first time I have seen Depos with chrome, or atleast the first time I've known what they were.
