Lazarus Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Got a small problem! Bought a couple of spare headlamps the other week off a fellow board member with the intention of having a go at painting the insides Satin Black. Guess what... my oven is too small, so I would like to ask is there any body local to me (Warminster, West Wilts) who wouldn't mind bunging them in there oven to separate the parts for me please? Failing that, is there anybody with a set already painted Satin Black who wants to swap for a standard set in very good condition? (Long shot I know).

Miguel Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 OOOOOOOOOOOR a heat gun and a cardboard box works really well Close the box up and cut a small hole in the side of the box to poke the gun through and you are off. Takes a little longer mind you but you have less of a chance of melting the beggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I have to take mine apart to fit your black backs I might as well paint mine as I've already got the paint. Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Ahem.... My oven was too small as well, hence the reason I had these spare because I burnt one of them, and instead of fitting those ones I went and bought some glass ones in thend.... I still need to send you those other bits, sorry my fault, I've been busy at work... Gav PS : I've got the red ones that I originally did, and they did look good to be honest, just not had the guts to split the glass ones yet....

Lazarus Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 DB Thanks for the offer but I'll try mig's idea first, If I make an arse of that I may ask again if thats ok? Garetheves I'll take some pics when I've got it done. TDAXGAV No big rush on those bits, but I do still need those side light bulbs.
