I am in the process of refurbishing my headlights and I have two questions.
1. Are there early and late headlight buckets? I've got two different kinds. Which is which? ![]() ![]() 2. Should I have these pieces powder coated? I cleaned off all of the rust and now is the time to either primer and paint or find a powder coater. ![]() Thanks. George |

I did a little research and supposedly an electric smoker is a great oven for powder coating. They are tall, slender, light weight, well insulated and can maintain the necessary temperatures . I found a used one on craigslist for $100 and purchased the Harbor Freight powder coating kit for $74. I'll post pictures when I have something to show.
@bdstone914 Bruce, Thanks for the tips. I would definitely have screwed that up. |

I would definitely have screwed that up. Wear a mask so you don’t breathe in the powder. Buy some silicone plugs so you can keep the powder out of the holes and threaded parts. Powder coating is very rewarding. Spray, bake and as soon as it’s cool, it’s usable. |
