no prep work needed if you use krylon paint for plastic. I just cleaned mine with alcohol and then sprayed 4-5 coats waitin 20min in between. 10mos now, not one issue.

It seems like I'm the oddball out as far as location goes. I think taking your time and letting the paint settle along with taking your time reassembling all of it is key, tearing it apart should be no problem, and the materials are cheap.

I think it's "Kyrylon Fusion" specifically which is what I used on my handles, emblems, and side blinkers. Hey Ron did you add any extra adhesive when reassembling or just use the existing glue? That is one of my biggest questions and if so what exactly did you use?

yep, that's the paint. No extra adhesive, it had plenty in there to seal them back up.

Alright perfect. Thanks. I might just go grab some Gloss black Krylon fusion for the main housing and order some paint matched Monterey blue from automotive touch up for the bezels and call it a day. Can't wait to actually get started but I'm always real lazy about doing this kind of stuff. I've had my Evo-r diffuser for about a month now and still haven't put it on yet lol.

Looks GREAT! My only concern, as this is a worry with painted headlights also, is the wrap bubbling.

I did notice a small bubble on the very bottom corner after putting it back in the oven to reseal it. Not sure its big enough for me to take apart again, I can live with it. Next one I will make sure to press hard on all the wrap before I reseal it because I didnt do that on this one. The 3m instructions do say to do that because that is what bonds it.
I dont think the painted parts will have a problem as long as you get the paint meant for plastic. Btw, you can find details in my build thread of how I did this. Last edited by VDC_OFF; 04-11-2012 at 01:07 PM. |

FYI: I am a bit jealous of the CF wrapped headlights. I never thought of that. Good job!
