Faster346's Budget Street/Strip Camaro Build

[faster346]

Take the headlights to a body shop and have them clearcoat them, they'll look brand new. I have done tons of them, it'll save you alot of money. Don't let them charge you anymore than $20-$30.

I'm sure even that will never get them as fresh looking as brand new, so I'll probably just order new ones. I am kind of a perfectionist lol.

What were the steps between cloudy abd clearcoated? Lots of wet sanding I'm assuming?

[OVRKILL]

Just polish them.....clear chips

If you drive like a jackwagon
It's no different than clear on a car...Besides, polishing fades and you'll be doing it again.

Personally I don't like doing things twice...Depending how bad they are, I just sand with (wet or dry, whatever your personal preference is) 600 then 800. Make sure all the edges are scuffed up well. Clean them with some wax and grease remover, tape up the rubbers and back of light then spray away!

So that's all you used, 600 and 800? I don't know much about body stuff so I'm new at that aspect. How about I just send them to you hahahaha.


On another note, opened up the exhaust stuff, can't wait for my converter to arrive so I can get the trans back in and put this stuff on!

That the new TSP Y-pipe I assume? It looks light years better than there old design.

Yessir. Hopefully it fits nice!

New fronts are here. Pay no attention to these disgusting stock brakes. New drilled/slotted rotors and new calipars on the way.
