Title: headlights
Post by: nick v6 on 09 July 2009, 10:31:08
spent a few hour's stripping the headlights down to fix the broken adjusters
and while i had them stripped down i decided to paint the headlights as well

How did you just do the bits black ???? when i had a go i just ended up spraying all of the inside black and wanted to do the same as you but when i masked up the sliver paint just flaked off.....

Oh yeah looks great by the way. :y :y

use a card board cut out that wil just sit flush over the full beam part
and then spray over it carefully

i held it with my thumb and just scrubbed the paint off after wards from my hands :y

If you are very careful with the adjusters you can remove the shiny silver part completely. A quick rub down with a dry 1200 grit paper to give a key and it should spray up nicely and stick :y
