? about the BHLM

When you guys get your headlights cracked open whats the best way to get the paint to adhere to the chrome on the shrouds and bezels? These are the two options i've narrowed it down to.

Option 1:
Sand with 110 to entire surface
Paint 2-3 light coats of color
Wait an hour
Spray 2 coats of clear coat (each coat light)
buff entire surface with rubbing compound
Rinse and let dry
Buff entire surface with wax

-OR-

Option 2:
Clean and polish chrome
Give chrome about 2-3 sprays of self etching primer
Spray about 2-3 coats (each light) of Barcelona red color
give it about an hour or so
Spray 2 light coats of Clear
let dry overnight
apply rubbing compound on entire surface
Rinse and dry
Buff entire surface with good wax

Both using

PerfectMatch Shaker Can Barcelona Red
PerfectMatch Shaker can Clear Coat
Meguiars Rubbing Compound
Hand powered Buffing pad
The lazy man Wax product
Krylon indoor/Outdoor Self Etching primer.

 

I've heard ppl just using scotch bright pads..... The chrome crap comes off easy.

That said, I have never prepped when using krylon fusion

 

ahhh, I guess this is the Barcelona head light mod.. lol. It took me a sec to understand why all the prep was needed. skip the sanding, clean, dry, prime and paint.

 

This. And make sure you allow enough time for the paint to cure.

 

Green scotch bright pad and as Justus said, very thin coat of chrome. Comes off real easy.

 

y is this not in gen 2 ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

I wouldn't use any wax at all. Especially when the paint hasn't cured 100%

 

with krylon fusion i didnt use any sanding or primer

 

The old silcon is about a BITCH to get off. Anybody got any good tricks?!

 

Easier to do when it's warm. I had to warm them up a couple times and work fast. Screwdriver got the job done.

 

Best trick...... Leave it there and lay window weld right over it
