Just melted me headlight
« on: July 08, 2015, 12:42:04 PM »
Like a dick head, I decided to remove the paint from my cb750 plastic headlight.
I had some paint stripper and tried a bit on a small area, within a few minutes it removed it a treat, so I covered the whole headlight.

Hey Keith , someone called from the office, there's a call for you.
You know what's coming, I forgot it for at least half an hour.
It had melted and deformed, it looked like the elephant mans head on a bad day.

I'm now looking for a used headlight shell
We all make mistakes
Small setback
Regards Keith

Mistakes are how we learn... I've done my share of learning.  ;) Good luck, hope you find one. If I had one, it would be yours.

We learn from our mistakes, I must be really smart by now.
