awesome!

--with paint?

 

Once to open up without paint, once to seal after painting, once again to open back up to fix fogging and cutoff issue, then one more time to reseal after that.

So three times in the oven with paint.

 

ok thanks

 

agreed.. i dont think the paint will have any issues.. although some ppl say it bubbles? idk maybe they baked it too long.. i did 250 for 8mins and it worked perfect..

 

ya bubbles r what im scared of. thanks for the info.
yo tight350z if you ever in houston give me a pm. we should take a drive and i'll show u how houston put down at the meets

 

Make sure you test your re-sealing job! If you do a crappy job, you'll regret it (they will always fog up).

I've never heard of the shower trick, but it sounds genius.

 

I just did mine this weekend. Your right, It is killer on the thumbs and fingertips. I think gloves might have helped...

 

I used a mini pry bar and wore gloves when I did mine. My fingers didn't hurt. Also, there is no need for wetting the cardboard. It just fogs up lenses.

 

any pics? care to help me do this ill pay you for the trouble pm me if you can help

 

Did you paint gloss or satin? Trying to decide what finish I want to go with.

Looks great

 

Ur lucky im responding...i haven't been here(logged on) in years. My z got totaled by a 17 year old that didn't stop... So I dont come on here any more. Its ok tho I have a widebody rx7 now. But anyways...

ya I glossed them. But depending on the color of your car they should both look great. I almost wish I did mine satin tho but the gloss paint matched so well on the gloss black body paint

 

Im on my phone so I can't see where your from...but if your in the area I can do them for you. Houston

 

excellent job, I recently did mine as well.....will upload some picture once I get my car back from the shop ! ! ! cant wait

 

NICE!

 

What kind of flat / satin black paint are you all using to paint your 06+ headlight housings? And are you sanding the plastic before painting, or just spraying it on as-is?

 

looks sick! ive been wanting to do these to my 03 Z, however i was wondering if it ruins the lights brightness in anyway? i live in south texas where there is lots if deer and hog running across roads at night so my high beams are real useful.
BTW Great job! look great!

 

Looks tight!

 

I don't think it would affect at all but if you are interested I have a housing for sale.
