Cerakote Headlight Restoration Kit

Im really happy with the Cerakote headlight restoration kit. This was my last ditch effort before replacing the headlight lenses. Ive tried a number of kits over the past few years with results nowhere near as nice as this. I got the lenses pretty close to new condition for less money and time than replacing lenses so I deff recommend giving it a try if your in a similiar boat. My lights were in pretty sad shape too. Ive also used their trim products in the past and had great results. Anyways, well worth the 18 bucks and hour of work. Pics below;

Looks good!
You might want to put a clear wrap over the lights. Just my 02.

I haven’t tried this yet. But I have used the trim coat and it works great. It can be a little finicky on application. You have to watch to not streak it. But works good and lasts a long time.

Used the same kit on my car. They were a shade worse than your headlights, but didn't come out as good, but miles ahead of what they were. If I had to do it again would have taken an orbital to them with the same sandpaper grit.

Here is another option on restoring headlights lenses. I’ve done this several times and all seem to be holding up.
