Hey guys. So like the title says, I want to bake the headlights on my 2007 G35S, and I have no idea how to do it, nor can I do it alone, I am not tech savvy AT ALL, give me a break I am a Hindu kid, I could do your taxes or calculus homework in exchange! lol, but if anyone in the local/metro portland area would be willing to let me come over and help me take out the head lights, bake, and re-install them I would GREATLY appreciate the help, and would be willing to help you with anything you may need help with. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! thanks guys.

Why do you want to do this to a new car?

 

I'll send you a link to the DIY on g35driver.com

 

Don't bake them in the oven, use a heat gun.

looks easy enough. I still want to redo mine one of these days, so the paint sticks better, and doesn't bubble (don't do it when there is snow on the ground).

 

so you mean like take the headlights off, and use a heat gun on it for X amount of minutes? have you done this? would you be willing to help since you are local?

 

umm why not? it looks cool. what kind of question is that? thats like saying, why would you put brand new rims on a new car?

 

I'd be willing to help but I don't have the right tools. Plus, it took Scott and I almost 19 hours to do mine and I paid him for his time.

 

Holy HELL!!! 19 hours?!

 

lol, it was only about 5-6hours of actual work from start to finish. the rest was, shall we say, was miller time!!! hahhaa.
the paint i use is an extremely durable satin black enamel what i did my engine bay out of and intake manifold, super tough!). i cooked them in front of my gas stove for about 5 hours to make sure all the chemicals were released from the paint. if you don't do it, you run a good chance of getting a haze inside of the lights later. plus the slow curing of the paint when painted over plastic (plastic absorbs the chemicals and takes longer to release) you run the risk of finger prints when assembling if not almost totally cured.
sure, easier and faster ways of doing it, but the only way i would do mine, and the way we did brians too!
