FTO AUSTRALIA

Ok, been a while since I last posted here.
Have done a few things here and there on the car aswell..

Installed front lip
New rims
Headlight restoration kit (this thing worked like a charm! Best $35 I've ever spent!
Tinted my tailights
Had my whole drivers side door replaced after some moron reversed into my parked car on easter day.

The guy who fixed the door did an awesome job. He even sprayed my lip free of charge.

Ok, today I bought a few cans of paint for various things. I plan on spraying the calipers red tomorrow and also touch up all the plastics.

I'm kind of regretting tinting the tailights. The care looked better without the tint. Would I just be able to sand them back and re polish with the remainder of my restoration kit?

I'll have some pictures put up soon of everything but for now all I have is this which is from the iphone so quality may be fair dodgey....

Looks nice, now make your way here:

The tail light tint will come off with thinner.. Just wipe it off... No need to sand it back or anything..

Hey mate, what brand did you go with? I need to do mine, also where did you get it?

a lot of us in here went by the diy which involved various grit sandpaper, 800, 1000, 1200, 1600, 2000, then microcutting polish, i used metal polish with a buffer though.. came out pretty good! altho i can see a rainbow when i look at my headlights at an angle though... wierd.

That's a good sign that they are done right

like seriously ?

well if you say so aza

although i'll need to do some resanding as i can see a bit of dulling starting again on one edge of one of the headlights. not too bad but i know its starting again. might need to get the smoked tint film that i've always wanted and for tail lights too, from decalfx.com i think.

My lights have the same thing on it. It's from the fine layer of polish that stays on the lights. It's a good thing

ohh i get it... might just have to get the buffer and my metalpolish then go over the headlights.

then you can do mine for me haha

i'll stand there and tell you what to do. its about putting the learning cap on

haha, well that's kinda close...
I was looking at getting one of those kits, are they worth it or just a waste of money?

Put it down on the DIY day list
