New Mod? Range Rover Headlights

[Joe Dirt]

actually the finish is flawless on the tail lights... the picture sucks or it may have been dirty at the time... here better view of how it came out :

Oh yeah- weird camera stuff or dirt- they look really good! Nice work!

temperature needs to be 70-80+

you need to be 6 inches away.

Even, thick coats. My tail lights are only 2 coats.

it didn't adhere well to my front lights at first, either.

Fix it up as good as you can, then clear, and wet sand the crap out.

If you got bad runs, wet sand them out first (carefully) but if u wetsand the headlights its ok just use 2500 grit paper to take out your scratches (with water)

 

[4FordFamily]

Did you get everyting worked out?

 

[symon_say]

Haha no that was me with the letters across the grill... but it would look sick on your ex as well

I like this a lot, i'll try on mine to see how it looks.

the headlights are legal, and the tails vary from state to state.

As long as the reflectors can be seen at X distance in the tails, it's fine.

Thats why I use VHT niteshades, 90% of the light shines through.

just order off ebay, product called VHT Niteshades.

I just cut vinyl pieces around the lights, and then taped them on. (carefully).

You could use cardboard o something else probably.

Clean the headlights WELL before attempting to apply, this stuff doesnt want to adhere to the plastic on our headlights well without cleaning VERY well.

I taped off the circles carefully (you can use cut-outs if you want) and then used a product called VHT Niteshades. Instructions are on the first page. Make 2 thick coats, inVERY warm weather, about 6-7 inches away from the light while spraying.

CLEAN VERY well, as the plastic is tricky to get the paint to adhere to if it isn't perfectly clean.
