He got a soda blaster to try out. If you use that oven cleaner do you then have to worry about getting all of that residue off as well? What is the best way to clean the clear lens on the inside same stuff? Or will it etch it?

Just spray it on keep it covered ,1 can is good for both lights I forget the time check the can I think it is about 20-30 minutes then just wash them off and they should be clear with a yellow haze then prep for paint no primer some adhesion promoter would be a good idea.

As far as the outer clear lens windex a clean rag ,compressed air to remove any lint and a flash light to look thru the plastic lens to ck how clear it is.

You can prime it if you want but it is not absolutely necessary ,the adhesion promoter is important b/c the easy off opens the pores and will expose raw plastic.

The factory base coat is a clear paint with blue tent and metallic fakes. You have to prim or it will show through to the plastic. Soda blaster is getting thought the thick clear coat i put on, don't want to use chemicals. If the shrouds get F'ed up I have to buy new light. Weird thing is its just that one light.

Should have them all stripped by Sat & ready for paint.

Will use the chemical on a fresh set of lights, good idea.. Thanks boss.

What do I know ,I did mine that way and I work in a body shop

This is main reason why I don't post that much on the forum ,I give correct advice and I'm told I'm wrong.

Do it any way you like my lights you great.

Relax brother everyone thinks what they know is best. Nothing wrong with that either. We are all proud of what we do, how we do it, and the path that got us there.

I think this is just a misunderstanding anyway. He is trying to remove all the old paint and there is a lot of it. He plans on trying your method on a new set of lights not some that have been done multiple times already like mine. We have been talking in PM's also he likes your method.

I have learned a lot from your posts Baer dont be stingy Also dont freak out if people disagree its human nature.
