Pic whoring+Smoked the head lights!!!

[grey5.0beast]

So me and my buddy Tommy had to paint the inside of his headlights, he had chrome on the inside, but painted it flat black. We had to bake the head lights in the oven to break the seal. He didn't check it often enough while we were changing his oil and BSing outside and the bottom part melted It works fine, but the bottom holes for the bracket didn't line up.

So to my car... we bought some tint film to try to tint my headlights, but we couldn't get it to match up the contour of the light and kept getting creases and bubbles galore. Well we then got an old spray bottle and some black base coat and clear coat and mixed it in the spray bottle. We tested it out on a few pieces of plastic. Then went for it on the lights. We ran out of clear and didn't finish the inside marker lights, its got some flaws, but I am gonna try to wet sand it, if not, it comes off really easily with brake cleaner(lol we messed up one pretty bad)

Then my car got hit by a cart at work a couple weeks ago, but it looks like someone tried to ram it!! I am gonna get the paint matched and do it myself in a couple months.

Man thats dark, with HIDs you'd probably just get stock light output with those things.

[stykthyn]

dude, are you bald already????

 

[ryan218]

is your vert lowered?

looks good but the headlights are a little dark for my taste. you should get the clear set, i think it would look best.

and do you happen to have a bumper sticker that says HIT ME!! people like to back into you huh.

for the damaged though the bumper cover still looks fine( no cracks ect? )

looks like you can get away with out painting the whole cover. just tape of them areas and color sand then done till the spots where the painted chipped off and id hit it with a coat or too of primer. sand smooth and paint clear. since your car was repainted not a very long time ago the paint should still match.

we had to do this with a buddy's of mine car. ( popped out of gear while getting some food and rolled into a light pole LOL )

clear set is possibly on my list to do ...not sure if stock would be better. sux about that bumper.

Yes and thats what I plan on doing


Dang noone likes it?? lol it doesn't look good right now, I know, but it will when I finish it right. I am stripping them right now.

 

[25thmustang]

Not my taste, but doing it yourself is a plus!

 

[grey5.0beast]

Ok they're fixed, 15 min and lacquer thnner works wonders

 

[85ragtop]

If you must act like kids do it in pm's.

 

[Beasty306GT]

wow thats real dark......becareful you dont get pulled over now........they will be mistaken for headlight covers.....

 

[foxmustangman]

Post pics of the finished product!

 

[grey5.0beast]

it looks like it did in the first pic with clears, only I resealed the headlight. So as of right now they are all clear, I'm picking up more clear this weekend and we are going to attempt it with a higher ratio of clear to black

Why not just buy a can of vht niteshades?
