[QUOTE="edgar_raphael, post: 1453426, member: 463"] Hi, the reason why I didnt make the mould in the first place is because, it is not necessary for me to do so. In order for me to proceed on making the mould, it will leave me to a near completed job, ready to be painted. Since I have no intentions to reproduce the eyelids for sales purposes or any other purposes and prefer to keep the lids for my own, I decided to leave it just as it is. The surface of the original fibreglass lids have been covered entirely with putty/bogs fillings and sanded down for smooth-ready-to-be-painted surface, which is also essential to overlay with thick layers of fibreglass to therefore produce the mould. But as I said before, I have no intentions to reproduce the lids so I painted it straight away. Some may argue that covering the whole surface with fillings is not recommended because chances of cracking the surface in the future is high, but however, you have to note that these are small little piece of fibreglass and it sticks straight on to the headlights, no screwing or no rattling or knocking on any other panels and it will stay as it is for the rest of the time, so I won't see any chances of it getting cracks and have never since, seen any problems with it. Thanks for the compliment [/QUOTE]
