New Paint! and more.

*NEW PICS ON PAGE 2*

I got some hail damage a while back and since my dad is an auto body man, we fixed every ding and every scratch on the car, and also painted 90% of it for what the insurance company gave me! Also I painted my headlights body color, it turned out real good except I didn't realize how scratched the clear plastic cover was. Is there anywhere you can get just that part of the headlight?

Looks really nice. Good color choice.

You can wetsand and buff the headlights, just tape off the paint around the lights and go to town. Also, you should take the mesh out of the front grille and paint in black.

Thanks! I did buff them :/ it seems like the plastic is just getting old and terrible. There are spots in it, scratches inside and out, and just very bad looking. It really bothers me.

They have a plastic repair polish at auto zone or checkers. I think its called Plastix. Works wonders.

Yup, tried that. It's deep scratches. There is no hope for them, trust me. So does anyone know where I can get just that piece? or no?

Definately paint the mesh in your grill black. As for the lights, blacking them out would keep this look of yours sharp and striaght forward. Keep it up.
