The first few weeks everything was fine. I'm now going on about week number two and some problems are arising.
1. The reflective material around the headlight bulbs are starting to form a rainbow like haze on them and in some spots has been completely removed. (This is not the pull out that you paint but what stays connected to the housing where the bulb is)
2. There is a hazy like film starting to cover the inside of the lens cover. It looks like when oil sits atop water....like a rainbow.
3. Some paint is starting to chip on the sides of the part I pulled out.
I don't think I gave adequate time for the paint to dry before placing them back in the oven allowing gas to slowly escape and eat away at non painted surfaces.. I also think I left them in too long at too high of a temp. (350f@6minutes)
I know I can fix the the chipping by just getting the housing back open and sanding&repainting. This time I'm gonna use Krylon Fusion. I used some crappy stuff laying around the house 1st time around.
How can I fix the reflective material? Can this be spray painted with a special paint? Or am I screwed?
*1.*This indicates the material the bulb reflects off of. I have a few dime size spots that are being dissolved off.
*2.* Can I black this part out(and be street legal) as long as I have a amber bulb and the amber insert?

Free advice to anybody new who attempts this.....TAKE YOUR TIME. It will be worth it not to have to redo it.
