Dave Witthoeft Gearhead Posts: 1321 From: IL. Registered: Dec 2000	posted 01-05-2002 01:57 PM Whats the best way to get them apart to clean them up without breaking them? Laqer thinner? Too strong? What takes the undercoating off the outside? Gasoline? or will that melt the plastic? What do we use to glue them back together again after they've been painted? This project should keep me busy for a couple of days. Thanks. ------------------ MCA# 48755 71 Mach 1 69 Fastback 92 F-150 M&M#884 IP: Logged

You might also drop them in some Pine Sol over nite after the undercoat removal. Pine Sol is good stuff-takes paint off of plastic. IP: Logged

PONYMAN Gearhead Posts: 122 From: Ardmore, Ok. USA Registered: Jul 99	posted 01-08-2002 08:23 PM I used a utility knife on my Sportlamps. The kind with the breakable blade to give you a lot of new points. I just went carefullly round the seam, going a little deeper each time until they came apart. My bars on the sportslamps were broken and I obtained just the lenses and had to mate them with my backs. Hope this helps. IP: Logged
