Headlight covers

[Empi5]

the trick to an even covering is to not go mad for a start. tape up the front of the covers and stick both side by side...

then lightly cover both covers at once with alternate directions ie first do a vertical coat over both, wait for it to dry or go tacky (whatever the can says) then do a horizontal coat over both...

if you get any areas that havent covered then you'll need to clean them off properly and start again.

i hope this helps matey

Do you spray the inside of the lense or outside ?

inside.... tape the outside

 

[Empi5]

inside.... tape the outside

I must be having a thick moment, why do you need to tape the outside.... and what spray do you recommend.

Taping up the outside stops you getting any overspray on it. If you ever had a radio controlled car with a polycarbonate body as a kid, you painted the inside leaving the outside nice and shiny. Stones also won't take the tint off if it's on the inside.

I guess you'd use tint spray from Halfords or somewhere similar.

as above matey. i tried a couple of cans but found the Savage stuff to be very good

I know they might me good to tint but they are pointless for protecting an already plastic headlight. It would take quite alot to smash them IMO.

[probee]

i thought of window tint but even if you got it right it would peel with the wind and rain

 

[nibbles]

I just could not get the creasers out

You cant use tint film on plastic. Plus also to get the crease out you need to shrink it with a heat gun. (mate got a tinting company, thats how i know)
