Chandelier restoration… — logbook Toyota Corolla 1990
Since the previous owners painted over the central reflector in body color along with the rear foglights
which I really don’t like, I decided to look for used ones ... so far without results, and the new one is very expensive. But looking at the crawled out devices like this, I also want to return it, because. I think that this is one of the highlights of the exterior of this machine.
I decided to try to free him from the captivity of blue paint. Everything is fine, but only the reflector itself is also cracked in one place, nevertheless I decided to try ... spray paint remover to wait and remove the paint ...
Then I decided to detach the reflector from the common frame and unscrew the foglights, one of which turned out to be a dummy :)
Well, then everything went on its own ... :) Then I washed everything, it remains only to get rid of the rusty surface, because after the solvent, a little plastic roofing felts corroded roofing felts, I'm a shitty painter)) I think to buy a polish and take a chance, or maybe try Goya's paste, I'll think again, there is time, after all this, I washed all the seat belts, they were terribly dirty, now they dry on balcony :)
In the USSR, there were soldering irons for plastic and polyethylene, try to find one, but there will probably no longer be a uniform and transparent seam.
