Ok, I know this is like the 100th repost, but I just have a few questions about painting the headlight housing.

1. Should I sand the chrome housing?

2. Should I use a clear-coat?

3. If I use the oven method to take apart the headlight, what temp should i set it at and how long?

Thats really the only questions I have. I plan on doing it on saturday. If there are any tips or extra advise that you think I should know, i would greatly appreciate it if you shared. Thanks for your help

 

bump.....c'mon guys, I could really use the help.

 

Damn this thread is rocking.

 

i did a light wetsand. make sure the surface is clean as well. I didn't use clear coat, but i imagine i could. And I don't personally suggest the oven method. A hairdryer on high works fine and gives you more control as to not damage the headlight.

 

sanding if if u want 2 i didnt n it still looks kick ass

i used a clear coat couse i have hids but the clear coat made it look dull but i still used it an added another blk coat over that

an yes use the ovan its the easiest way...set it to temp 200 let it preheat then set the timer for 25mins per headlight

hope that helpd

 

I plan on disassembling my Depo projectors. Do I re-use the advesive or do I need to purhcase new adhesive to seal it?

 

I reused my sealant just fine with mine. I pressed them on so they'd stay in place while I baked them, and pushed hard when I took them out. Works fine!
