I was in charge of the paint, but since I'm not going anymore someone else will have to take care of it. I was going to get Krylon Fusion Satin Black from Wal-Mart, but you should be able to find it at Lowe's too. It's designed to be used on plastic so it's good for the headlights. It's the same exact one used in the DIY's for this mod on the forum. You can go check out those threads for more pics.

I think you should come regardless. There will be tons of food etc.

I was perfectly fine with that and helping out even if I didn't do my own headlights. It appears as if I'm no longer wanted there so I'll find something better to do with my time. Hope you guys have fun. Be sure to post plenty of pics when you're done

I still think you should come but w/e

I might stop by if I don't have other plans at the time.

Hey DM, Im gonna pick up some painter's tape, wax & grease remover (you use this prior to you actually shooting the paint, it eliminates fingerprints, wax & grease), and electrical tape (to put on the butter knife used to pry the headlight open).

dmhenderson · 09-02-2012, 02:48 PM

I already have a roll of blue painter's tape - the heat resistant flavor. I used it when I debadged my '09

Nice! Can I use some of yours? Do you have enough?

dmhenderson · 09-02-2012, 03:23 PM

Of course. I have no idea what "enough" is though. If you do buy another roll, get the thinner "masking tape" sort (mine is wider/thick). Can't hurt to have too much of that stuff and it'll definitely be used in the future.

eastwest2300 · 09-02-2012, 03:37 PM

Yeah, I'll just pick up a small role.. We shouldnt need that much.

GD I just checked the first page of participants and it got a little smaller.

EW I'm really going to get with work this week and see if I can get that time off to swing by and offer help. I'm pretty confident that these will turn out awesome and I'd do it but just not my thing. If we were installing passenger ejection seats I'd be all over that.

Also, is mykindaguise still coming down? Thinking of buying his LTHs and would like to hear them in person before commiting.

Hell yeah man, please come out. You're more than welcome to, sh1t eat some wings, drink some beers, its all good bro.

12 days fellas!!!

falconfixer · 09-03-2012, 05:31 PM

If I can make it what kind of beers do yous drink? I'm a Miller Lite fan but with the drive I'll have to hold off on drinking. Like I said, I have some 'shine from WVA that is prolly better suited for the gas tank but is taking space up in the fridge if someone if brave enough to drink it. I can also throw some cash towards the wings.

eastwest2300 · 09-03-2012, 05:41 PM

Im a corona kinda guy, but brother, bring whatever you want. It'll be fun, but I would say, lets hold on drinking until the headlights are done.. lol..
