Restore HEADLIGHTS permanently with clear coat!

[@Picproject]

Man your videos are so helpful!! Thank you for sharing them!!

[@geo611]

Did this a couple years ago on some brown headlights. Still looks great after 2 years in the sun all day. Did not use adhesion promoter.

Thank you for everything you teach us, I am learning a lot. Greetings from Santa Clarita, California.

[@GarageNoise]

Thanks for watching! That's awesome!

[@jeff6969]

I'm definitely doing this on several of my vehicles. I've already bought replacement units for two of them, but this will give me backups to keep in my shop.

[@GarageNoise]

Right on

[@OldJoe212]

I haven't done a headlight, but last year I did my 3rd brake light just like you did here and it also turned out great and still looks perfect.

Good video I’ve restored my headlights lots of times and always looking for a better way and something that last long time thanks

Hi Chris, the PRD510 looks a nice and a good quality gun it certainly atomised the clear really well on those headlights, you should have added a drop of basecoat from the car colour in the clear mate just to colour code the headlamps you would be one cool dude then😎😅😉 I've seen some people say you shouldn't use adhesion promoter on headlamps then some say you should, there seems to be a lot of conflicting info out there on which is best🤔I trust what you do brother so if I do any headlamps I will use it🙏👍John UK

[@GarageNoise]

I don't adhesion promoter would hurt anything but time will tell. I done it both ways

[@ThomasLamas-g2p]

Worked Great Looks like Brand New

[@NickVanGuth]

👌🏼👌🏼 nice video bro keep up the awesome content

[@GarageNoise]

Thanks! Will do!

[@djbofjandb]

Nice! Them headlights look great. Seems like a good gun or set of guns that is.

[@GarageNoise]

Thanks man ,they really are great gun. Ibalmost passed on reviewing them, that would've been a mistake.

[@lazygamer9725]

Eastwoods 2k clear is nice for lights and emblems etc.... just easy to discard... but i do like spraying way better... cans mske my hands cramp

[@GarageNoise]

[@stevec5657]

Yes, I did the "sand and polish" method for years, only to find out these plastic headlights come from the manufacturer with a clear UV protective coating that eventually fails, causing the yellowing. Now I sand, then spray automotive clear coat everytime. Thanks for the video 👍

[@GarageNoise]

Absolutely!

[@johnnym3387]

Great episode ❤

[@GarageNoise]

Thank's brother!

[@rajgopalreddychinthareddy4002]

Hi sir, nice video, i am from India. What you sprayed before spray gun, you used a spary can? What is it?

[@shaneintegra]

So would the InoKraft D1 be better for larger panels?

[@GarageNoise]

Yes it would

[@simplyclear5802]

What type of clear coat did you use?

[@GarageNoise]

Finish1 fc710 amzn.to/40eRrXs

[@Mikefngarage]

IMO the only way to get them to last.. sand with 600 adhesion promoter, and clear. everything else becomes a maintenance.

[@GarageNoise]

Exactly!

[@joeortega350]

Nice job. I was wondering what sander and extractor setup that is?

Nice job

Thanks!

[@jensz9360]

Did this 2 years ago on car and has been outside in 105+ degree heat not garaged with high UV index and also driven in snow for a season. headlights still look brand new. Nevermind the people who will say that 2K will crackle the plastic....just dont use cheap clear. That simple. They are probably using rustoleum or some crap for $4 a can and wonder why it ruins the headlight.

[@GarageNoise]

Right on ! Yeah, gotta use good 2k clear and it will last.

[@jensz9360]

@@GarageNoise Also may want to tell your viewers to be careful messing around with 2K, that stuff will mess your lungs up if you dont wear a proper mask. Some people who paint will not wear one, but I wouldnt risk it. If you are a pro or a hobbyist and mess with 2K a lot to paint cars best to wear a full face mask or respirator system, tons of ventilation, preferably with some kind of fan, I would even go as far as recommending a full painters suit. 2K can have some nasty chemicals. People attempting this should just make sure to get proper protection for themselves, and also to mind the drying/curing times. To some it may seem excessively cautious but anyone who has sprayed it knows its some nasty stuff.

Great video! How many ounces did it take?

[@GarageNoise]

About 4-5

[@setthehook4me]

@@GarageNoise Thank you again, Chris!

[@ericgonzales194]

I’ve tried the clear coat upol but ended up getting cracks do you know why on the head lights

[@GarageNoise]

Were the cracks in the clear coat you sprayed, or were they in the plastic on the inside of the headlight?

[@ericgonzales194]

@@GarageNoise on the outside I was using upol clear coat

[@Danno74Z]

Hi Chris, I might have to try this. What clear coat did you use on the headlights? Thanks.

[@GarageNoise]

Finish 1 fc710 you could also use spraymax aerosol. amzn.to/3z8D9N4 Spray max amzn.to/3KPsdXb

[@BakerHalley]

Hey Chris I’m having a fisheye/unknown contamination issue on base and clear. I shot you a very long in depth email regarding it. I’m not sure if it is from the air compressor, the air in the shop, or dirt or anything else. Any help or tips would be very appreciated. Thanks

[@toycoma98]

I am pro 2k clear headlights. What do you think of those who say 2k is bad, polishing and ceramic/cerakote, ppf is the best?

[@GarageNoise]

Anything other than clear coat is just maintenance. It doesn't last long maybe a few months

[@jensz9360]

I agree, I have tried the ceramic route...waste of time and only looked good for 2 months. Headlight yellowed and finally got fed up and went with the 2K clear and 2 years later still looking new and the car is in 105+ degree heat with no garage. All the cerakote and junk like that is just hyped up junk. Waste of time.
