[Healeys] Restoring Lucas L594 Lens

[Perry Small]

Harold
After seeing Marks response I reread your email. The Lucas red lens were made of red glass not coated. True, the red color varies. 
Photo attached.

> I agree that the red beehive lens does come in a small variety of shades – some quite dark – but mine are all red glass right through.  No red coating.

> Hello,

> I have 4 red original glass Lucas L594 Red Beehive tail light lens. Unfortunately no two match. The colour is either different, faded or starting to peel off.
> Has anyone has good success stripping the old red and then recoating with a new red?
>  
> I know you can buy new but these are original and I would like to reuse them. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated. What type of coating is recommended.
