Headlight lenses

RE: Headlight lenses
I had to repaint the front cap of Pretty Penny to get rid of the 3M film. On the new front, I had them paint Amor Coat from the head to toe. It is a clear, protective coating that looks great and protects the paint from dings and scratches.

My solution is illustrated in the pictures below. I removed the discolored headlight covers entirely and had a bra constructed in Mexico. The upholsterer made about 5 trips to my house to measure and fit and it took me two days of grouper fishing while the construction was in progress. I was satisfied with the end result and I have 400 less U.S. dollars that I have to pack around.
