Getrag Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I used brasso pads with a LOT of elbow grease and it came up very well. I spent about 5 minutes on every 3 square inches of plastic, inside and out, rubbing quite hard. It does work. Havent painted mine but it has been done many times. Just get a high temperature paint. You can get it out more motor factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain2010 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 It might be easier looking here. This guy refurbs them for a good price which could save you a lot of hassle! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=60528 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4RK RZ Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I have sprayed the inside of mine black and left the chrome rings around the lamps - looks fantastic ! I would do it for sure - the silver coating becomes 'old looking'. As for buffing up - are you sure its the inside that needs doing? you may find that its the sun reacting on the top of the lens (as mine does) that is causing the yellow shimmer. You will need some G3 rubbing compound from the spares shop and also a buffer - dont mess about doing it by hand because you will just get frustrated and fed up... and dont try to use T-cut because it is not harsh enough - G3 - then polish they will come up like glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
