    Default Finally Veiled my headlights and other reflective surfaces

    the temp was perfert today!

    i have alot of surface area on my headlights so i used like a 1/4 of veil by the time i was done. for the headlight to the right i imitated the latest video and it worked well. just a few streaks. next time i know to just load up alot of the veil when i start and let it just run down. i didnt use enough the first time and so it didnt streak down very far but i've learned my lesson. ill deal with them looking like crap for now, espcially the left side just because veil isn't too cheap. i figure the next time around should be good.

    i also veiled my honda logo as well as the frame of my plate which is black that is holding the lasersheild down. i even veiled the aluminium gratings which is over the air dams on the bottom of my kit.

    word of advice to anyone going to veil, load up a ton of the veil when you first go to put it on, so that way it can just overwhelm the area and drip on down like the video. you'll get streaking when u have to dip for more veil as this stuff settles pretty quickly. i was a bit conservative at first which led me to do more dipping which lead to all the streaks and ugliness on my left light. in any case i hope i get lasered soon so i can test it out.
