Any suggestions on applying VEIL to these new big round / curvy headlight assemblies?
Hi all! I just bought VEIL and applied to to 3 of my cars. 2 look good, the Suburban looks streaky. I am now scared to put it on my Equus headlights. They are those big curvy roundish things that pretty much take up the corners of the car. Lots and lots of retroreflectivity there, so I want to do it, but I am worried. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions with these kinds of assemblies? I do not think the brushes are going to be effective, but I never air brushed anything before. Any ideas would be most welcome. Tried PMing VeilGuy, but his box is full.

Haven't airbrushed ever, but the 2" or 3" foam applicator should be able to do the job. Do it in the evening, when it is cooler, though, it will help Veil flow out better on such a big housing.

I will try it, but I am wary...

I had a friend of mine, who owns a body shop, airbrush mine on. I came out looking like the headlight cover was manufactured that way.

Are you running any thing else or just Veil? Because Veil will not protect you without some other measures.

Veil first, then Blinder 905, then BEL STI-R

Can you offer any suggestion about what to ask for at a body shop? Should i just ask if they do airbrushing? Is there something special to request?

I have a suggestion. BUY LI and forget everything else, you won't need to put that crap on your car. If Veil Guy, and Radar Roy tells you, welllll.
What a laugh, go watch these two paint some lights and get punch through at,, Just go watch it. DO NOT PUT THIS CRAP ON YOUR CAR> .
I have a full can of the amazing Veil G4 which I will never put on my truck.
Also Blinder updates are crap and LI will treat you right.

I see you are running the M47. Did Blinder screw you over? How do you know LI is better? Where do I got to see Veil punch through video??

Re: Any suggestions on applying VEIL to these new big round / curvy headlight assembl
Of course Blinder screwed me over, just like every other customer. They do not take care of updates. M series is obsolete in the real world. I know LI works because I can read and watch all the unbiased reviews on them.
You never hear anything but good about Cliff, he takes care of customers. I will never again purchase from Blinder.

Well I spent a few hours removing the piece of crap non updating Blinder M47 and got my new from Cliff LI heads. I will post the install when I get more done.
OH< if you are a Blinder fan I will make you a deal, they will be on EBAY.

Re: Any suggestions on applying VEIL to these new big round / curvy headlight assembl
I would appreciate if you LI fanboys stop jacking these Veil threads. The Veil forum is about Veil and support for Veil users, not another bash location to any other countermeasure and a way to promote LIs. I would also appreciate it if Cliff ceases acting as moderator for our Veil section, since he seems content with the Veil bashing...Can you say "conflict of interest?"
Thank you.
Veil Guy.

Gentlemen,
I'm afraid Bob is correct with respect to this being a Veil Forum. If you have something to say about Veil, go ahead. If, however, it is about anything else, albeit related to Veil, please post it in the appropriate section.

I myself think veil would be great to try if one doesn't believe in active laser countermeasures like I do. Just afraid about the amount of light loss with a application to my already dim headlights and my dimmer vision. :)

You don't have it on your car, so you don't understand the pain it is to remove it.

I wonder if there is some kind of car product that would make the removal a lot easier. Something to put UNDER the Veil to let one remove it a lot easier later?

Wouldn't it be a WHOLE lot easier not put it on in the first place if then you're going to fret about looking for a product in the future that would have made the removal easy ???
