Rep Power: 253

i was wondering if i could get someone to help me with two things within the next week or so.
1. BOH- ill need the list of materials to buy and help with the whole process
2. I need a dremmel tool so i can open up the ports on my head a bit. For the dremmel tool ill get my own sand paper and such but i will need a cutter if you have one.

thanks guys and gals

for BOH - all u need is silicone, black paint (krylon fusion) and an oven, blue painters tape. you really dont even need to sand paper it.
if you want me to supervise i can

oven isn't even needed. just a blow dryer would do.

but yea..blue painters tape, black paint, and silicone. lemme know when ur free, i'll give you a hand.




sorry for thread jacking but i need someone to walk me through wiring my fogs.

a blow dryer is gonna take a lot longer than an oven.

and ken will help you wire your fogs.

damn i wanna get some BOH also... but im too scared i might fog it up and not do it to well -__- i like the crisp too much =\

 
Rep Power: 258

just do it.

btw i need to clear up my sis driver headlight. water got in there and it fogs up. and when i took the front bumper off, the bottom of it was kinda cracked.

 
Rep Power: 268

btw, how long will this whole process take?

 
Rep Power: 258

3 hours? took me 4-5 hours with hair dryer... and crappy bumper

i have a heat gun to open up the head lights regis. A lot nicer then using the oven or a hair dryer.

You basically need high grit sand paper, primer, and a can of paint.

 
Rep Power: 320

shouldn't fog long as your don't take off too much of the oem sealant.

 
Rep Power: 258

i didnt even use primer or sand paper...
krylon fusion bonds to all plastics.
i even use it to paint filter intake tubes in my fish tanks

 
Rep Power: 320

eh i just do it to make sure the paint doesn't flake off since it doesn't really take that long to sand off the chrome paint.

 
Rep Power: 258

ya that makes sense...

 
Rep Power: 268

yo regis, when u do this, let me know, so i can tag along and see and possibly do mines to too.

so i paintd my headlights today
kinda looks like ****
i taped off the refelctor hole and the blinker hole and it looks all ****ed up, did you guys just paint the whole thing when you take out the orange reflector?

 
Rep Power: 268

uh some do, but i prefer it stay orange. looks nice imo. any pics? im planning to do mines soon too.

 
Rep Power: 258

your chrome came off didnt it?

its a lot easier to just tape off the orange part and paint the circular city light too. looks pretty clean that way.

 
Rep Power: 0

i took off the orange part before i painted
so i taped off the to 2 side holes, painted the borders, and the small whole, and no the chrome didnt come off, it only looks like **** on the sides because there were a few parts the tape was over and should be painted or visa versa, do you know if after the silicon dries and i put back my headlights i can redo it by reheating it?

oh and in the process one of my bulbs burned out

socal 7thgen tech meet anyone?

 
Rep Power: 268

lol like my friend asked me b4 the meet on the 20th....is it a tuneup meet?!~?! i'll tell her its a tech meet nexttime so we can fix things hahah

 
Rep Power: 258

well thats ur fault for not being extra careful with taping. its all inthe precision taping with blue tape.
its a lot easier if u just leave the amber part be and tape over it. im thinking about leaving the amber in for my second set of head lights now, but i already have clear fogs and clear side markers...

 
Rep Power: 0

yeah i know its my fault and when i took the tape off and saw it was ****ed up i didnt really want to tape all over again and paint the small area's

but can i reopen them?

 
Rep Power: 258

yes... try it
lol but leave if its if its not noticeable from far away. lol goodluck

 
Rep Power: 268

this is what i feared -__-

 
Rep Power: 258

just take your time, use blue tape, tape with extra extra care, preheat the tape before u remove it, and then pray.
