Thanks.

 

Papa your the man dude !! i love this DIY .... im going to be doing mine this weekend....just cant decide between semi gloss or a satin black finish ??? lol

 

lol...thanks DaTkId.

IMO, semi and high gloss don't come out as clean as a matte/satin finish will. I've always recommended using Duplicolor Bumper Coating. It lays down nice and is a nice dark satin finish. I've used it all over the place....my front midship, grille, headlights...and even recently my plenum

Bad phone pic

 

^Looks good!

 

Just wondering where is the best place to get paint from, and what color your guys recommend for IP?

Thinking about color matching part of the light, where could I buy IP paint?

 

If you want to do color matching for IP, your best bet is to have a shop do it

 

what color is the headlight in the first pic? matte or gloss?

 

^Matte black

 

man prying open these lights aint fun

 

06's? Pry them open from the bottom after you've baked them (of course). The top/tip of the headlight is sort of wedged into the base. Doing it this way makes it easier to remove. You will need to do the opposite when putting the lense back on, inserting the top/tip first.

You might be done by now Andrew. Good luck

 

Thanks man!
I fiugerd that out the hard way haha, but nah I was doing my old ones first since its was gonna be my first time doing it. So when I do my projectors today or sunday ill have some experience

 

Is there a DIY on putting the demon eye LEDs in the projector?

 

Did you ever have any issues with leaks/fogging? You just snap the lense back on without running a bead of silicone? I'm thinking of painting my lights soon

 

The OP tells you that it is not necessary to run a new bead as the light will reseal itself once you have re heated them prior. If you feel more comfortable running a new bead, you can do so.

 

I am baking my light right now and I can seem to pry off the lens. The sealer just seems to be a little bit tacky after 7min in the oven at 200F. How gooey should the sealer get? Do I need to bake it for longer so it is almost liquid and slide it right off? Or do I just need to use a little strength to pull it off. Im being cautious cause I don't want to break anything...
