Wow great job! Those look amazing.

With my luck I'd end up melting them in the oven lol

 

I've had good luck with just polish if you're in to elbow grease :D 

 

if you paint, do make sure you paint them under ideal conditions.  I got impatient with some XJ tails and the clear fogged up in the coldish weather.  :(

wet sand 2k? sure. :L:  I use the bathroom sink. :D   I then end with 3k and/or a polish.  but depending on how degraded they are, you might even need to start with a more course grain.  :(

Would the end product be the same if it isn't baked in an oven? I am hesitant to put my nice taillights in the oven, and my mom doesn't want them in her oven. :roflmao:

I did mine with a headlight restoration kit. Worked pretty good. Good enough for a daily for sure but definitely as nice as many.

 

Just wanted to throw a quick fix idea in for us lazy folk. Lol

Yes Definitely just let them slowly cure in the sun. Or even use a hairdryer.
