hey what's up everyone. happy new years eve to everone. I had a question about black housing head lights. I want to do my head lights but I am stuck on what spray paint I should. any suggestions on what brand to buy and any tips on this DIY project. thanks again

 

I just went to my local autozone and purchased I think Duplicolor spray paint and primer. I would just suggest that you take your time and double check your seals before putting it back in the car.

 

Krylon makes a paint called Fusion for plastic---

 

Ok cool. My main concern is will this something permament or something that I will have to touch up every so often. Any thoughts

 

Mine and a friends have been good for 5 months now---But I spent a lot of time on both --basically a 24 hr turn around---I let the pieces set up over nite before I reassembled

 

did you do any primer or sanding

 

No ---Little hard to sand due to irregularitys, But super clean -----Wipped it down with laquer thinner----dont touch it with ur fingers, semi wet coat ---Then 2 wetter coats-----

Krylon Fusion is a no Prep paint requiring no sanding or Priming, Take it for what its worth cuz ur actually painting chrome. But so far so good -----Used it on my door handles also

 

so just clean with laquer thinner and spray away. what kind of silicon did you use to seal your lights back up. one last question, any fading or anything.

 

I used permatex Clear silicon but in the future I will switch to a urethane calk ---Its self leveling and more flexible ---The silicon stays where u apply it where as the Urethane flows into the nocks and crannys and drys to a soft rubber consistency
