Headlight Restoration. Sand paper and compound


Redid the tailights since it had to be removed.

 

Never heard of plasti-dip on the lights. They look alright though.

Good work on the headlights!

 

good job on the headlights; the tail lights are ok.

 

Which Plastidip did you spray the tails with?

 

saw tags on bumper...

Must be from Hawaii.

 

There's a smoke Plasti Dip.

Do you have pics of the light output for the tails? I'm guessing its patchy

 

i just used the regular black plasti dip for the tailights, but yeah it does turn up patchy if ur looking right at it from like 10in away, but other than that i looks good, something different thats why. ill get more pics later on, light output is still very good which is why i like it, even if i blacked it out it would still show quite a bit.

 

Nice job on the headlights. Did you re-seal them after wet sanding? They'll haze back up if they aren't protected. As for the taillights, no likey. They should have been nite-shaded and cleared. That looks pretty gritty and not consistent just my opinion.

 

yeah i buffed out the haze then put a coat of wax. but the only reason i used plasti dip on the tailights is because its temporary, if i get pulled over for them i can remove it right there in like 5mins. Besides everything else on the car is matte plasti dipped (side markers,grille, license plate frame) making the tailights plasti dip just makes it go along with the whole theme. If i nightshaded them it would just look odd, in person is a different story.

 

Nice job Dane.
