Hello,
Its been a month i have my FZ6 S2 and since its working properlly i looked forward for some visual upgrades.
So Morimoto H1 Bi-Xenon Projectors is one of them, yesterday received them and this weekend ill start retrofiting them. I am willing to go with the "painting the reflectors/shrouds" way and i would like to have a couple of opinions about that.
My idea is to paint the shrouds in carbon look with Hydrographics method, but i cant really tell from photos if shrouds are visible enough in order to make it worth the carbon look paintig rather than just matt black.
Secondlly, if its indeed worth it i would like to know how many degrees the headlight housing reaches. I searched to learn how heat resistant is hydrographics paint and it comes to 250-300 degrees.
Thank you in advance for your time, im willing to hear your opinions,
Nick
Edit: I just received a mail from a hydrographics specialist telling me that "the painting is so resistant as the clear coat is resistant. Till 120°C.You should use a very well clear coat as Glasurit products "
And a mail from my seller of the projectors Kit tellign me that " The headlights generally require 265F for 7 minutes to open them up, so your hydrographics should be perfectly fine. The plastics inside generally won't get above about 180F even being baked like this."
So by being sure that i wont have heating issues only matter is if shrouds are visible enough in order the hydrographics way to be worth.
