Pulling the trigger next weekend
To be honest, like a lot of other members, I'm terrified of baking these things even though I see the successful posts.
I am going with a gunmetal finish instead of black, but Krylon fusion does not have a gunmetal option so I plan on going with some sanding, primer, and paint. I do see a lot of varying temperatures and times, but it seems 250 degrees F at 10 minutes or 225 degrees F at 15 minutes is the most common. Has anyone seen any negative repercussions i.e. scratches on top of headlight from the lens being soft, moisture getting through...etc. Does the microfiber towel make sure the lens gets no scratches once you have to pry it apart? Also, is it worth getting the extra butyl rubber to reseal the lights or is the stock amount of sealant really good enough to effectively seal the light?
