Do you guys remove the headlight's optic fibers inside the shell prior to painting? If the reply is yes, is there an easy way to do so? Thanks for any input. Dom

Dom when I repainted my two GP38s, i masked the fiber optics with rubber cement. This way I did not have to remove them and risk breaking them. I touched up around the fiber optics with paint after I removed the masking. It worked great.

I have additional tips in the Nov/Dec 2012 issue of Ztrack.
