I have a feeling I'm not the first to ask this, but I did a search and couldn't find an answer.

My front trunk needs some love. I've stripped and painted a couple of 2002 engine bays, so I know what's involved when it comes to prep, but I'm a little confused by how to deal with the void under the headlight buckets?

There's barely enough room to squeeze my hand in there no matter any tools.

Is there a secret to prepping and painting that area?


You need to remove the headlights and eyebrows. You will remove the lids on the flip up lights and prep all the area Clean out the drain and repaint. It can be dirty there as years of dirt and leaves can collect. You can buy new rubber pieces for the eyebrows. Not hard to do.
