I'm interested in seeing your results/idea. I believe you'll have to stick em in the oven to soften to adhesive to pull the headlight apart. Hope this helps: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...t+06+headlight

thats more of a dual painting process.
This is how i've done it on my personal setup: 1. take everything apart per POST #2 instructions 2. paint the red on there without using any tape 3. let it fully cure overnight and possibly the next 4. tape a "ring" around the red area (or whatever color you decided) 5. finish painting everything else with a black color of your choice 6. Reverse the "taking it apart" steps and you should be done Now this isn't the full blown instructions, but its a good brief summary. Hope that helps! |

There's a long thread with step by step instruction and pictures.
Me and about 4 others got together once and did it all together using that thread as our guidelines. And yes, you will need to stick your headlight in the oven. |

So this might not be the greatest place to post this, plus I am reviving an old thread but the almighty search method got me here. I wanted to gather some opinions from some Subaru veterans about my head light idea.
I have a 07 SWPM and instead of buying the sweet jdm headlights I want to take mine apart and paint them the oem white. (I have access to a paint booth / tools / material etc). So I know I can do a good job but I am just hesitant to do it because I have never seen it before and I don't want to look like steamed rice either! If anyone wants to get down on some photoshop feel free! |
