I may give it a go tomorrow weather depending :) as I want to re paint the insides of my headlights so there all black as the indicator bits on mine are still chrome. Will do pics also :) haven't put any recent pics of the car on here yet

i think personally if you do the chrome bits black also, it may be too dark, but your choice, yes you need to get a thread going on progress with your evo ;)

Use a 1500/2000 then a 2500 wet and dry saturated in warm soapy water and sand them until they go hazy.

Use a cutting/polishing pad with something such as meguiars ultimate compound or meguiars plastic x on setting 2 or about 800-1200rpm. Finish with a finishing pad with a choice of wax and jobs a goodun'!

This is my friends A3 before and after, only used 2500 so didn't get the full cut with the 1500 but could improve upon this!

That looks really good, crazy what you can do with a good polisher and compound!
