Painting my headlights
ok guys im about to paint my headlight tomorrow.... i know all the steps how to bake it but on painting it i got a question.... krylon is the best right? and do i need to used a sand paper so the paint will stick good... and do i need to use a primer before painting it the color i want? need some advise plz..... Thanx :D
|
PM joesredmax... he has a nice setup or dues ...
|
If you buy Krylon Fusion you don't need primer or sand paper. Just make sure after ou paint you allow it to dry for a few hours before putting the lights together to avoid the lense from fogging up.

Just how easy do they seperate?
You should do something with the reflector while you have them open. More pics..? |
Its not that hard for them to seperate.. my only problem is im weak on hot things:laugh: thats why im getting hard time to hold the headlights.. but 15min is enough..... im sanding it right now and will wash and dry it in a min.. ill post more pics later.:D
|
finally sand it... just letting it dry :D

You should paint over the Canadian day-time running light. For some reason everyone leaves it clear.
It does nothing... I take it you do not have HID? |
a lil off topic so forgive me...do any of you guys know if any1 sells clear sidemarkers for our headlights?
|
Home Depot.
