The green stands out best when parked next to a blue car.

Have you thought of sanding your headlights back with P1200 wet until it’s an even dull finish then get a can of 2K clear (proper 2K, not the rubbish acrylic stuff) and mask it up and hit it with 2-3 coats of the clear. They’ll look brand new and never fade again, I did that to my sons WRX, my daughter’s STi and a Barina my other son is learning on. Also did it to the STi tail lights

Yes, I have been contemplating that.

Just need to extract the digit.

How do you get the 2k to stick? Adhesion promotor then just regular 2k like you use over base?

Nah didn’t need an adhesion promotor just the 1200 grit scratches are ok.

I find it easier to remove lights to work on them rather than masking up. Such as my headlight sand and buff on the VY
