Tips On Cerakote Headlight Restoration Kit by autoremedy365: 1:15pm On Jul 11, 2022
Cerakote is not just a product, it’s a brand name. It’s more than just a coating that protects your headlights from scratches and rust. Cerakote is a way of life. It gives you peace of mind and allows you to live your life without worrying about what your vehicle looks like on the outside. Imagine having smooth, beautiful paint on every part of your car! That’s exactly what Cerakote can do for you!

Cerakote is an automotive coating that can be applied to headlights for a brighter, longer lasting light. This coating also does not fade and protects against the elements. In this article we will cover the steps needed to restore your headlights using Cerakote.

Cerakote Headlight Restoration

Cerakote is a ceramic coating that is used to protect and restore the appearance of various surfaces. It’s a great option for restoring headlights, as it provides high performance and durability that will last for years.

Cerakote is applied by hand rather than automated processes. This allows technicians to provide custom treatments and coatings specific to your vehicle, as well as ensure that each job is done with precision and care.

Steps to a Better Headlight Restoration with Cerakote

Use a solvent to remove the old coating.

Use a solvent to remove any dirt, grease or oil.

Use a solvent to remove any water or soap residue. Soap residue can make the Cerakote come out blotchy in some places and streaky in others if you don’t get it off well enough before putting down your new coat of headlights protection!

Use a solvent to remove any sanding dust from your headlights after you’ve sanded out all of the defects (scratches) on them with 600 grit sandpaper or equivalent level of grit (higher is better).



Purchase the right products

Before you begin, it’s important to make sure you have all of the supplies needed to restore your headlights. Your local auto parts store should carry everything that you need, but if they don’t, we recommend going online or checking out your local hardware store.

Use a light primer coat first

The first thing that most people do is use a light primer coat on their headlights so they can get rid of any oily residue left behind by previous coats of paint or other materials used in restoration projects. If the original coating was not done correctly or was done with an oil-based solvent which has deteriorated over time due to exposure from weather elements like rain and snow (as well as sunlight), this step will help remove anything remaining from earlier attempts at restoring them before applying another layer of protective coating with ceramic finish such as Cerakote brand products sold at [insert website address here].
