i wet sanded my headlights with p600 and then scuffed it with a grey pad and scuff stuff. after that i cleaned it with super clean. i used ARC clear coat with plastic primer, fast reducer, and fast thinner. after spraying it, “cracks” appeared. why does that happen? someone please help me
It is possible that the lights are in really poor condition and the clear coat just highlighted the cracks in the plastic
yes it was in poor condition but i cleared some other headlights that werent that bad and still the same thing happened. by the way thank you for responding
Its probably the clear you are using.
maybe. i use that clear for cut in parts. ill try de beer next time
How about some of the clear bulldog sealer? We polish them only, no clear.
All you need is a good 2k clear. your jambing clear is likely lacquer and the cause of the cracking. it will not do this with 2k Urethane clear. no need for any AP.
X2, I have used Nason 496-00 in the past with excellent results, never had a cracking problem
are you adding the plastic primer into the clear?
yes i am
I have no idea what ARC clear is or what plastic primer your using, but almost all the time the adhesion promoter goes on first then clear as normal.
If the product your using is something specific for headlight I could be wrong.
Make a mould and vacuum form an acrylic lens.acrylic is strong cheap and you can wet sand and polish imperfections from use. Mostly I make new lenses.
