cool

 

[TheMaddog]

This is definitely a lot harder than what I thought it'd be. And is the headlight as soon as I sprayed it, it started to bubble up. I put on adhesive promoter.

You might have mixed bases. Was the adhesion promoter the same brand as the paint?

 

[TheMaddog]

No. Does that matter though?

[wermbang]

how did you clean the headlights?

 

[TheMaddog]

Microfiber and compressed air.

[wermbang]

so no sanding or mineral spirits?

 

[TheMaddog]

I did a little sanding.

If the inside of the headlight was chrome it would need to be sanded pretty well to get the paint to stick I would imagine. In the same way the bumpers need to be sanded.

Or at least scuffed up well.

I had similar problems with the Duplicolor "Shadow" Chrome tint.

It created a whole lot of F'n work. Fortunately the shrouds on the Gen III headlights are big and flat. Just sand them all REAL good with 400(ish) grit. Get through all the old bubbly paint and through the shine on the chrome. Then hit em with the adhesion promoter. Be sure to read the directions. The promoter I've used needs to be coated within 5-10 minutes!

Yea sand it real good and clean it real good and take your time and follow the instructions
