Pic whoring+Smoked the head lights!!!

grey5.0beast · Jan 28, 2008

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.

SuperStang83 · Jan 28, 2008

Have you put your heads on yet? I'm waitin for that man, I wanna see how they turn out.

Roland69 · Jan 28, 2008

your blinker fluid gasket must be leaky...look at that mess. or is that dog pee

dude, are you bald already????

ryan218 · Jan 29, 2008

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 · Jan 29, 2008

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

grey5.0beast · Jan 29, 2008

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

85ragtop · Jan 29, 2008

Beasty306GT · Jan 29, 2008

foxmustangman · Jan 29, 2008

grey5.0beast · Jan 29, 2008

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
