Well I resisted for long enough and having done its all really straight forward to open the light thanks to daveos guide. I baked my light in the oven at 135 degrees for 8 mins exactly. I did not paint the whole light and kept the internal chrome parts intact. I have another to do on Saturday but more confident now having done the first. I was thinking I might paint more of the chrome ? Next step is to put a clear inticator bulb in .I ended up painting these by hand using java black .sorry for pic quality but was getting dark will post more in daylight. views please |

Well done googsy, it looks great, pulls the whole front end together. If only I could get my sidelights apart......

The 2002 sidelights come apart if you bake them too... I've got one at home in bits (that I replaced as it was cracked) that I was going to paint, along with the headlights (Jave Black 2002 Vogue) - but have currently wrapped the grill in carbon fibre, and put lamp guards on - thought the black might be a bit much aswell... Edit - avatar pic is pre lamp guards! l:OolΞΞΞΞΞΞloO:l 2002 4.4 Vogue Java Black Last edited by T111RDY on 16th Nov 2012 10:54am. Edited 1 time in total |
