The owner of Heretic Studios (producers of badass LED bars) sent me his Mercedes Benz E55 AMG headlights for a little restoration and blackout-age.
These are easily the worst lenses I've had to attempt to restore.
Painting wasn't too hard, had to repair a broken projector mount that was either existing or happen during shipping, and then clean up a few years of insects and dust inside.
After I shot some Low Gloss Black on everything, I sealed them back up and shipped them to my painter to wet sand and clear coat the lenses......MUCH better improvement over what I had given him. His shop tech asked exactly what I was doing with them as he couldn't even tell they were painted....they were that bad.
These were so bad that I had to REOPEN them to give the inside lens another quick rub down (yuuup).....so here they are.
