Check out my original headlights. Wetsanded and cleared:

[killajamal]

Hot dang. Very clean. Did you use a two stage clear??

[mike-tracy]

That is really impressive! Just like fresh off the dealership lot!

[Sublimejoe]

Hot dang. Very clean. Did you use a two stage clear??

Nah, just single stage

[Sublimejoe]

Steering wheel is done! What do you guys think?

[killajamal]

Steering wheel looks good!!!
Id hit the headlights with either a catalyzed clearcoat or clear vinyl wrap to protect against UVs and rocks! I did on mine and it looks wonderful and has lasted.

[killajamal]

Of course you probably know what you're doing and I just sound like a know it all Dick:/

[SILINC3R]

What was done to the steering wheel?

[kimokalihi]

Those headlights are inspiring. Did you do them by hand?

[Sublimejoe]

Jamal, do you have stairs in your house? The headlights are cleared with solvent based automotive clear

Steering wheel was originally black and was dyed blue quasi-mod-o

Thanks so so much kimokalihi! Yes sir, they were wetsanded by hand then sprayed.

I could be coerced into refinishing headlights in exchange for a small amount of dollars, or parts!

[killajamal]

Niceee! They look good!!

[cj91legss]

They look like glass head lights.... Thumbs up to you!

[kimokalihi]

How much dollars? I redid mine a few years ago and they still look decent. Did your lights not have those extruding mounting points for headlight aiming tools? Makes it a pain to sand.

[cj91legss]

Kimo, the post face lights don't have them.

[kimokalihi]

Oh must be nice.

Im starting to get a bit fed up with the extremely hard time I am having finding someone to wrap my door panels. I took everything off of it that will come off and it really does not look like it would be hard at all to wrap. Not sure why I am having such a problem.



Here it is after it was dyed last night. It looks better but I know I won't be happy until its wrapped in fresh leather.

[killajamal]

Try asking at knife point. For some reason people seem more compliant when I do that.
Or you could by some vinyl wrap or tolex and try your hand at it!

Hmm, they are both such good plans that maybe I will incorporate both. Ask at knife point, then force them watch me wrap it myself.

[killajamal]

I just noticed my wonderful spelling mistake. By=buy. Stupid phone.
But yes. That is brilliant!!! Why did I not think of that:(

[Sublimejoe]

Here is a better photo of the dyed and mostly assembled door card.

[SILINC3R]

That looks fantastic. Unfortunately that is as good as you are going to get without buying a new one. If you tried to wrap that I am sure they would bend/break the cardboard material with easy. I have tried wrapping my dash and that in its self was a diaster even with it being pastic. Didn't have a way of taking the original vinyl off so wrapped over it.

[SILINC3R]

Oh and I am interested to see how those dyed pieces hold up to regular use.

[Sublimejoe]

Yeah, I'm sure they're going to get beat to shit. I just don't know what other options I would have ya know? I just want them to look new, nothing fancy

[Sublimejoe]

Oh boy oh boy! Some color went down last night!
