So I remember a little while back, somebody panited their tails with blue metalcast paint and it made them a type of purple/black where the reverse lights turned out simply blue. I was wondering if you guys think it would look ricey to do the headlights with all blue (chrome lights). Maybe somebodys done it? Pics?

I actually don't know how to answer this. When the taillight pics were posted I thought it wouldn't look good but to my surprise I liked it. So I don't know how this would turn out on headlights.

I think it would work...But do you really care what other people think as far as it being "ricey"? do it because you like it not because everyone else does.

That was me that did my taillights... i say go for it... if you dont like it, take it off with some thinner

 

[PLUR13]

I agree with IMA. Not really sure how it would look

Could look pretty cool.

ehh idk I don't like painting headlights is there any legal issue wioth it like with added glare or anything?

 

[JustMiller25]

Yeah I also would like an answer for tht. But i didn't know if the thinner would take it off because I wouldn't want to just trash them if they turned out horrible. Maybe someone could photoshop it with a bluish tint?

I did green eyelids on my old car with the MetalCast and thinner took it off just fine, and that was after a year of being on there

here are 3 different varitions...i didnt do the driver's side

Tht looks pretty good! Thanks man. It would look even better if i took out the orange blinker lens. Does anybody know where to get the sealent and how much it is to reseal the lights? I bought some to fix the sealent on my aftermarket headlights but ive had to constantly reapply

 

[rb513]

i used some sealant from ace hardware the guy recommended...same stuff the used to seal pvc in plumbing applcations

I work in the aircraft industry and I use a sealant called 1300L. Its made by 3M. I was thinkin of doin the inside of my headlights in a blue metalcast paint and reasealin with the 1300L. Someone had a DIY on them a while back. Dont know if it made it back on the site yet or not.

 

[JustMiller25]

any prices?

 

[cobaltinator]

You can probably go on 3M site and check into it. I think its a little pricey but awsome against leaking. Its like $20 a tube of it.

 

[JustMiller25]

Thanks!

Put the head light in the oven on 200 for 15-20 minutes then pry away you should be able to reuse the sealant. just put the two pieces back in the oven when your done for the same amount of time and simply press the two together.

1300L aircraft parts on sale - airsuppliers.com Heres one of our supplies of it here. Its 23.00 a quart... You have to apply it with a paint brush ( small one) just put tape on the sides of the lights where you dont want the glue to touch and do your thing. After it dries slowly pull the tape off and you got a finished product.
