If you want painted headlights that look good and you don't have patience, well...put the headlight stickers on. There is no quick and easy way to do this, even if you have pre-made headlight masks. More than anything you can buy you need some talent too. If you doubt your abilities than just practice and practice on something else before attempting your body. All the painters here have spent a lot of time honing their skills. If you want to learn, buy/read all the books, magazines, articles, videos, etc. that you can find. There are lots of good articles online. As far as I know, every HPI body comes with a step by step set of instructions with photos too.
