baking headlights that are clear bra'd?
I have the clear bra on my headlights, but i want to bake and paint the insides. Would this melt the clear bra, or should it be ok?
|
I wouldn't take the chance it would melt and cause a mess. Don't take shortcuts
|
so i guess im not painting my headlights...o well
|
Yah, kinda jumped the gun on that one :p
Maybe trade headlights with someone that wants clear bra ;p |

I would recommend getting the seibon front grille like I have to black it out, but that thing is the biggest pos part I've bought for my Evo to date.
|
haha why recommend a POS part lol migs you crazy cat!
|
What i meant was, i WOULD recommend it, if it didn't suck so bad.
|
i havent really seen evoX lights in person but evo 8/9 lights are very easy to clearbra DIY.
why dont you warm it up, slowly peel it off then apply it yourself later. light only kits are cheap. |
I have clear bra applied to my headlights; baked mine to break them apart and to re-seal them at 185 degrees. No issues, no bubbling, no peeling. The film still looks crystal clear.

i think people are overlooking the fact that if you want to paint the insides, you'll already have the outer clear shell off anyways, so just bake the insides where you paint, but not with the clear shell that has the clear bra on it. duh! or if you mean bake as in bake to re-seal them, then just ask a clear bra installer to remove the clear bra if possible, bake your lights sealed shut and then clear bra over it again

Bro if you're really worried about it then I wouldnt attempt it. But if you're more worried about painting the inside than having the clear bra on the headlights then give it a shot, and if it messes it up then just remove it. |
