Making progress but a long way to go.

I'll be honest, I didn't even notice that you converted to a round headlight until I looked at it a third time (went to the start of the thread to catch up). I'm very curious to see how it ends up.

You mentioned earlier in the thread about 'learning a lot about painting plastic', I'm about to do that, any tips?

[Outkasted]

Biggest tip I can give is if you have the opportunity use a practice piece of the same material. I ran into different reactions to the paint and the prep wipes.

Makes sense, thanks! Did you end up with a good combo of prep and paint brands/types that you could share?

[Outkasted]

Simple alcohol and water worked best for me on the prep after cleaning the area a couple times. As far as paint goes my first try was rust oleum for practice. Had the worst reactions, ended up using an automotive paint but still going to redo it now that I have a spray gun and better paint possibilities.

People have been doing great things with the boxster and these two were my inspiration to try something i have never done before.






I have zero automotive training or skill. Just want to see what i could do. It is almost time to for primer so thought i would share the progress thus far.
