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 |

Here is my first attempt at powder coating. I was a little too conservative in my application of the powder and had to give the pieces multiple coats.
![]() I bought a used smoker on craigslist for $100 and the Harbor Freight powder kit for $80. ![]() ![]() And here is my cardboard painting booth. I hang the tray from the top of the booth and hang the parts on the tray. They I just slide the tray into the booth. ![]() One cavate is that my oven/smoker only gets up to about 300 degrees. To compensate, I've been heating the parts for 40 minutes which seems to work pretty well. George |
