how much will you paint them for?

 

I am not too sure, havent gotten anyone seriously interested to discuss it with yet.

 

just wondering...i have an extra set of headlights here at my house and i want to do something to them....just to see how it turns out....

 

so, you removed all the bulbs and such. remove the wires and stuff all that yayaya, what about the bolts and screws? and di you just put the headlight on the oven rack? or did you put it on something else

also, with the adhesive, it just came apart when you heated it? no screw driver to pry the 2 peices apart or anything? and the seal was fine when everything was said and done??

sorry so many questions, i've just had so many bad experiences with headlight moisture haha

 

Yes, I removed everything I could from the assembly. I put the headlight on a cookie sheet then put that in the oven. Yes, it came right apart when heated. I recommend using oven mitts or something when trying to pry apart with your fingers, you need to just work your way around the top/bottom, pull the plastic piece over the black piece(you'll see when its out and apart). Comes right out, do what you have to do, put back in the oven when it's kind of together so the glue doesn't drip, then smoosh it together when you take it back out. I havent had 1 bit of moisture in my headlights or anything, it's perfect.

 

I did this last night. When i baked them, i put them on a damp dish towel, just so i wouldnt have any issues with the headlight melting to the cookie sheet. I will be taking pics today, but they look sick on a yellow car. I can answer questions too now, if anyone has anymore.

 

Haha, nice man

 

what did you guys paint them with?....

 

I painted mine with Dupli-color High Temp Black Paint, I also used high temp Dupli-color ford red for the red ring.

 

Oh, also, tomorrow there will be some nicer pics that are more clear, and I will make a new thread to see just them and not all of the other million pages of jibber jabber.

 

I also used teh duplicolor 500 degree engine enamel, with 2 coats of metal primer underneath

 

did you guys just paint them...any preps?

 

no preps, just a very light quick coat, let it sit for a minute, then do a heavy coat over it so it sticks nicer.

 

no prime zap? how come? i sanded with 400 grit, then 2 primer coats, then 2 paint coats.

 

lol, you wasted your time
