Stockers

Baked and pulled apart

taped off sections that were to be left chrome

got the supplies ready to sand, prime and paint

lightly scuffed with 1000grit sand paper

2 coats of sandable primer

4 light coats of semi gloss black


pulled the tape off after couple hours of drying

applied the amber reflector back in

baked and sealed again


time to lightly buff the scratches on the lens



POW!
