restored headlight housings, good 30min project
here's a good 30min project for those of you who are bored today
i restored my headlight housings!
i took them off (4 screws, easily accessible)
i sanded them for 400grit sandpaper, and then 600grit, heated them with a heat gun so the paint would stick, sprayed with high temp black
quickly ran over them with a heat gun, and paint dried quickly
i took the screws and stabbed them into a cardboard box, painted them as well
before/after pics off/on the car below

i know, researching that right now, i think i can just disassemble them, and put them in the washing machine
if that doesn't work, i'll boil them in water

Nice...very nice. The possibilites of this application are boundless. I would have probably prepped them the way you did and had them proffesionally painted the same color as my car. Just food for thought.

they're black and shiny, like my car, it really isn't rocket science
you guys can make some stuff so difficult when it's really easy
thanks weblair24, at least you see my point

But then it wouldn't have been a nice, quick, and cheap job.

And I thought mine looked good when I took them off and used paint stripper to get all the red over sprayed paint off (crappy paint job along it's life).
Nice job.
Nice job.
