Duster Rear Lens repair

Post by kev73dart »

Hi All

Not sure this is the right place for this, but thought it would be good to share.
Hi All

The back lights on my duster have always frustrated me a tad, because the offside one is virtually pink (faded) and the nearside one is proper deep Red.
I came across VHT rear lens paint and I have to say I am very impressed.
After very careful masking, I gave both lens a few coats and then applied a couple more to the offside one until they looked even.
I followed this with a couple of coats of clear lacquer and the result looks great.
Apologies, one of the pics is a bit blurred.

Cheers

Kev
