50 bucks with my paint, it takes 5-6 hours
I could do halos but I need your lights for like 2-3 days

Right on man. Thanks! Trunk is coming along FYI. I'm still sanding the lip to be perfectly smooth. I only have time to do a few hours of work a week. Man it's tedious!!!

I would love to have my headlights look as clean as those in the above photo!

great job java

It's best to get the finest sand paper possible on a drill bit attachment and do it like a wax buffer style. Like finer than 400 atleast.
