Black out your headlights meet

[bazooka joe]

Okay, for anyone interested...going to have a "black out your headlights" meet at my house Nov. 18th. I told my wife to not do any baking that day! When I told her we will be putting our headlights in the oven all she said was "oh". She knows I'm nuts anyway!

We'll start around 9. Let me know if your interested. Hopefully Chris (Kansei) will be here to walk us through the process!
Oh ya, Chris...we can do your fenders too, if you want?

18th sounds good to me....just have to double check my calendar and make sure we don't have anything going on that weekend. Will let you know and now I gotta search to find what paint to use.

interesting, it all depends on if I get my house stuff done first. I have to get up on the roof and fix my chimney. joy.

I used "satin finish". My sanding job wasn't very good though because I was in a rush the second time I painted mine >_<

One step ahead of ya. I was browsing that thread at lunch. Thinking of going with Chris' suggestion of satin. Just think the flat will be too blah, but I definitely don't want too much 'bling'. Anyone ever see semi in person...seen pics here but it is just so damn hard to tell. Meh....

Since your wife has been given 'strict' (haha) orders not to bake that day, maybe I can convince my wife to bake something....if she doesn't have me locked up first. lol

I'd take pics of mine but all you'll see is the rock pits on my headlights haha. Well my avatar pic shows mine with the satin finish, not that it's easy to see or anything.

http://picasaweb.google.com/clauretano <-- I have a bunch of pics of my car on there, you can zoom in on most of the pics. I can't get on that site from work though so I dunno if there's anything that will help.

Thanks...that is the look I am going after. What brand did you use and does it matter if it is high heat or not? I don't recall seeing anything in the how to, but would a coat of clear be necessary after the satin is applied? Just want to make sure I have everything I need.

Since we will be doing the headlights maybe I should bring up my nite shades and new bumper lights. I put way too much on the first time around and they look like $hit when lit.
