You'll see the horror that is my door handle painting FAIL

I break down and decide to attempt to paint them myself... I live in AZ in 100* temps at night, so I'm thinking it will be fine to leave them on the balcony to dry. Let's just say I happened to do this the ONE NIGHT it decides to rain here...

FML.

LoL Ramen.

True, MRWorks is expensive, but you can also recoup some of that with getting a core set swap done, then you can sell the other set and make some of that money back. Plus they can do the other mods you can't do in your home kitchen.

Does it matter if you clearcoat these? Or is it not called for?

If you are referring to the inside then no you can finish them anyway you want.

SPOHN · 01-04-2011, 11:44 AM

Your are a brave man to take apart your head lights.

Baer383 · 01-11-2011, 06:46 AM

for those of you doing this you can remove the chrome off the plastic housing with out ruining it,you use easy-off oven cleaner(yellow) top spray it on let sit for 1-2 hrs. rinse and repeat if necessary if done properly the housing will be clear when you are done giving you allot better surface for any paint to adhere.

Just thought you would like a tip
