Baked headlights on my whiteout - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

When you removed the painters tape did it flake or peel the chrome finish?

Ocho-Seis · 10-17-2012, 04:05 PM

I like it. I may do the same to my Raven...I'm just scared of baking.

Nice work, I've been waiting to see this done on a Whiteout. I just have to get over my fear of putting my headlights in the oven and do this!

Looks sick!!! Looks so much better

colHolm · 10-17-2012, 09:20 PM

This is exactly what I wanted to do... unfortunately my fingers aren't dexterous enough and I got frustrated and painted the whole housing.

Kudos!

And thanks everyone for the feedback

best one i seen so far.
i was planning to do the same thing but im probably doing the ring around the low beam as well. great job.

Carban · 10-19-2012, 08:17 PM

PrinzJ thanks, i was also thinkin of leavin a little chrome around the projector but after i saw how difficult it was to tape i figured it woulda been a mission. but if u go thru with it im sure itll be well worth it.
