DIY: Headlamp Bezel Painting in My Swift

[ACMohan]

I've painted the headlamp bezel of my Swift black. Here are the pictures.


The bumper is removed first to unscrew the headlamp assy.

Headlamp assy. removed.

The bezel was attached to the assy. with the help of two screws.

The silicon gum was softened by blowing hot air at the edges(300- 400 degrees). Then a flat-tip screw driver was used to open the headlamp assembly.

First coat. The indicator reflector was masked using masking tape.

Second coat

After the third coat and masking tapes removed.

Painted assy.

Hot air gun was used to soften the silicone gum.

The spray paint, I used

The final outcome.

Thanks

Yeah Varun bhai, I'm back.
@Varun and bharathi4747.
I used a hot air gun to melt the silicone gum.Then a flat tip screw driver was used to remove the back cover from the glass. The bezel was screwed on to the front glass.

WOW! Looks cool and Very neatly done!

Good Work Buddy.

Thanks Appu. Yeah, assembled that again. No leaks till now.
