ICEMAN Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Very impressive. I would have made it worse.haha. If someone was to do and have mint plastics, i HIGHLY recommend take the headlights out of the plastics and doing this. B/c it is very easy with the 500 and 800 grit to sand thru the paint. I did go thruthe paint, but i knew i didnt care if i did on that piece,that is the sickest bike i have ever seenhahahaha. no doubt!!!!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmagicglock Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 a guy that owns a body shop that I use to work at when I was like.. 15? offers this service for car headlights. Its AMAZING what the before and after looks like. Even if your bike doesnt need it, I would do it to your polycarbonate lenses on an older car that has a "yellowing" of the headlights or lots of pits. It looks like you put brand new headlights on your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gf's lil sister's mustang is completely covered to where you cant see a songle thing inside the headlight housing. cant wait to do those!!!! its prolly gonna use the rest of the sanding disks, lol. they are EXTREMELY bad!! the 500 grit is going to be used A LOT on these, lol.its nice when people pay 10-15 bucks to get there headlights done!!
