shop na nagpi-paint black ng headlight?

[jojoico]

just want to ask if u could recommend a shop na nagpi-paint black ng headlamps. i have a spare kasi na gusto ko palinis at gawin black (...trip lang).

btw, if DIY, ano gagamitin ko na sealant para maibalik? any specific brand/type?

thanks.

glue guns work. They help you get a nice thick bead on the outside to seal the thing. Just trim off the excess.

If you decide to go DIY, I suggest you do it in a dry interior room... it's hard to cure a headlight of condensation once it's put back together, so it's best not to get it humid at all!

autoline in makati, they charge 1,500

use silicone sealant tulad ng mga ginagamit sa paggawa ng aquarium dito sa atin...

para sa black paint use high-temp paint...

pipinturahan ng black.......... mag pass through ba ang light dun.

[chieffy]

sir usually reflector lang po yung pinipinturahan

[niky]

Just the outside molding of the reflector portion... otherwise useless ang headlight.

It's a nice cosmetic effect, but it reduces your headlight brightness by up to 20%, depending on the vehicle in question.

ah ok. yun pala sorry ha medyo slow ako ngayon eh

thanks sa replies, i read sa kabilang forum na kelangan ng heat gun to disassemble kapag old and orig yun headlamp, pde bang alternative ang hair dryer sa heat gun?

[niky]

nope, won't melt the adhesive, I think.

i used a 500w halogen floodlight, it melted not just the adhesive but parts of the plastic as well. :P

mahal mahal pa naman ng headlight. i think a hair dryer will work fine.

sa chieftech, nag papaint sya ng headlights. wag ka magtataka kung puro computers makikita mo sa shop nya.

chieffy, nahihiya ka pa sabihin. nyehehe

di na ako gumagawa baiskee he he since nagsara yung station he he...dati po 1300 ang singil ko at overnight ko patutuyuin yung high temp paint...pati silicone na sealant na gamit ko is pang high temp talaga...

civic ek headlights lang po ginagawa ko noon...di na kailangan gumamit ng heat gun...medyo nakakangalay nga lang baklasin using my swiss knife... kapag tama pagkaka seal mo di papasukin ng tubig headlights mo...

una kong ginawa yung civic ng nephew ko...natatawa nga ako dahil bago siya magpalit ng kotse akala ko bago headlights ng 99 ek niya...naalala ko nilinis ko nga pala iyon he he...

eto na lang po yung remaining pics ng ilan sa ginawa ko...meron na pong nawalang mga pics dahil expired na yung payment ko sa pbase he he
