Re: Check out my custom camaro headlights Well willis 00
i did mess up my lights really bad on the one side (the first side i did) i cracked it in 2 places. So on the 2end light i used a lot of Brake cleaner.( i just used a little on the fist light) The brake cleaner is about the only thing that well eat away at that rubber seal. And no the cleaner didn’t eat away at the Plastic. just try not to get to much on the clear parts.
The key is to give the Cleaner time to eat away at the lights rubber seal so i say hit them with cleaner about evere 10 mins or so for about a hr maybe long depends on how much Rubber GM used on the light
as for the prep i just used Primer
2FAST4U i used Hi temp engine paint.
