Taking light apart to spray?

[Soph]

Wanting to spray my silver lexus lights, matt black to look like the black ones you can get. Is it possible to get the lights apart to spray?

Help Please!

Exactly what he said he was going to do, said they had some really crappy sealant on them and it looked like a blind man could have sealed them better.

 

[Laura]

aye tis the best way

I've got a bit of water trapped in one of my rear lights, would this work to get it out? How easy is it to seal them back up? Sorry to hijack.

 

[Laura]

easy, just get some black sealant and away you go

 

[Laura]

but if you just have a bit of water (that makes the lights mist up ) turn them on, put something over the light and leave it on for a few hours, the heat will use the water

does it need to be black sealant or will clear be ok?

 

[Laura]

aint they sealed to the glass or is there plastic on the inner light that unbonds from the actual unit?

 

[Laura]

all the bonds will become tacky so you can just pull apart which ever bits you want ( well this has been the case on any other lights ive done... cant say 100% on clio ones

 

[Soph]

what temp? don't want to melt them in my mums oven or boyfriends mums oven lol. they not clio ones, after market lexus ones.

not too sure...

id bet the units are sealed directly to the clear plastic, so DO NOT use black sealant

use clear sealant

Well there's currently grey sealant on them! The fella say's the clear plastic sits in like a groove in the back half of the units. Directly sealed then? If it's any help, they are made by Ultra.
