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

 

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.

 

Hey Jimmy, take pics of the project, I want to see how complicated this is to do.

Thanks man

 

yea ill post some pics tomorrow...

 

GL Kiddo!

JK

 

when you get yours done, wanna help me; im kinda iffy on doin this myslef? lol

 

NP.... just stop by muh crib and ill help you

 

I am supposed to help fastmax do this but my valence project has gotten in the way.

 

here`s some pics when i took off the bumper.... i thoguht its hard but its easy... as long you got the tools
Damn dog...lol




Lol... looks ugly... now ill be driving this like this for 1 day... Lolx

 

Damn that thing is hot.... i cant even hold that headlight

 

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 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.

 

finally sand it... just letting it dry

 

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.

 

Its a stock HID..... and ill just paint the crome thing.....

 

Primer............

 

coming along nicely =]

 

Just a little tip make sure you wipe everything down really good before you seal it back up.

 

Nice write up.... continue please

 

Ok final touch...Krylon Black
