Painting headlight bucket

[Skatpak]

This is my first attempt at restoring My headlight bucket. I dont think it came out to bad. Now I have the other side to do.

Looks nice from here and you saved yourself a ton of money having someone else do it. Plus the satisfaction of a job well done.

The best way to paint those is spray the whole part and then use a thick piece of felt
dipped in Acetone to wipe the paint off the top of the chrome bars. Epoxy prime before
putting the black on so it sticks!

Nice work. I wonder how many hrs went into this job.

Thank you. Appx 6 to 7 hours actual time not Including drying time. It's very tedious working with each slot and sanding in each one. But it's worth it. It's not 100% perfect but I have the satisfaction of having done it myself.
