I have a couple left that I wasn't able to push in. Does anyone have any suggestions for removing/putting those bitches in? Also, might have to go through and reheat the top cemented part of the light... theres too much of a gap and it comes through where the light and quarter panels meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09blkL3g Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Nice work optyks...are you planning on doing more pieces red?...i think it would look better if you did the badge red and maybe a few other things to tie everything together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk about that. Originally bought it because I wanted to paint my wheels a meadesherry black pearl color, black looking except at angles and in direct sun, but I wasn't able to get around to it and had this stuff left over, so I figured why the hell not. Can always paint over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTLEGACY007 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 question for those who have done this: what (if anything) did you use to re-seal the headlights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optyks Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I bought some waterproof silicone caulk, but honestly, I didn't use any. There's so much sticky shit in the creases already that, when youre fixing to put the light together if you get it hot enough, it WILL stick just fine. In fact, it's so sticky that my left light didn't push together all the way so I have a little gap between the light and body frame. All i need to do to fix it is heat it and squeeze again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blklgt05 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 question for those who have done this: what (if anything) did you use to re-seal the headlights? wow, this thread is still active! don't just use any silicone, use stretchable silicone. Some Subaru dealership sells them in those large tubes. So, maybe get one, use it, and sell it to someone else that is clearing their lights. I recommend buying a new light and do it just in case you mess up or the light start to leak. It took me several tries to get it right. mod journal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optyks Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hmm, I havent found any additional sealant to be necessary. Even through rain and everything. I'll see what happens once winter rolls around... Some more pics, taken a few minutes ago. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a115/Falkon114/0715001820c.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a115/Falkon114/0715001820a.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a115/Falkon114/0715001820.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cortez Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 on the topic of sealant, i used some all purpose indoor/outdoor silicone, filled the channel with it before pushing them back together, a little bit squeezes out, but you can just wipe it clean with a wet finger for a good seal that will never leak.

metsfan999 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I'm a rookie to this and will be trying this soon enough, but before I do I need to know what items or products i would need to purchase before I start to take everything apart. What brand flat black primer paint do i need to purchase? what sealant or silicone do i need to buy? are those the only two things that I would need? and where can i purchase all these items here in the Queens/Brooklyn NYC area? Thanks, any help will be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSpecB08 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 So overall, just clean & paint? How many coats? No need to sand or primer or anything? Also, what colors may ask has everyone been using? Sorry for the questionaires I'ma newbie at painting headlights =p along with baking them for the first time! I appreciate all your help & support.

wizkerbizket Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Has anyone considered using a liquid mask product like Fasmask? Ive used it for my RC car paint jobs and it works well. Seems like it might be easier on the chrome bits too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
