oakley plate restauration and spare parts

[Sgt FU2]

i have a pair of oakley plates (2003-2005) and im planning to restore them. those glasses means alot to me, it was left by my father. the paint job is almost completely gone on one of the legs and there are some chips here and there. i dont have much knowledge doing paint jobs on sunglasses. i cant sent these in to the pros cause im not in the US and there is no oakley sunglasses speciallist where i live. also, i have been searching around the web for spare parts. glasses are still ok but if i can find a spare glasses, i would like to replace them. im just trying to make this pair look as pristine as possible. last but not least, i also cant find any manual that'll guide me to tear down this glasses. i would appreciate any help provided.

Look on eBay right now: there's a pair of FMJ Plates parts, not nescasarrily cheap but you didn't specify exactly what you wanted. Frame, front plates, lower plates, top plates, earstem with plates are available.

Once you have access to the Exchange Section you might be able to find someone who has some new old stock. If not there are a few members here @Chris A Hardaway is one, who can custom cut lenses for almost any pair as long as there is a "donor" lens.

I don't think there's a specific method to 'tear them down', however the construction will present a challenge since Oakley used 100,000 watts of sound to sonicly weld them.........never seen a sonic welder: have you?

Unless you get the donor lenses cheap it may not be cost effective, Chris can give you the low-down on your best option
