Sakey Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I have been refurbing my lights (melting them in the oven and anything ) but the chrome on one of my lights looks very worn in places, and non existent in others! Is there a way of repainting/repairing the chrome without losing the chrome effect. I dont want to repaint them black as other people have done. I've got some halfrauds "chrome" paint, or sliver to everyone else in the world, but its nowhere near the look of orignial. Has anyone refurbed the light chrome / fixed this problem?

Stevo Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Try using the chrome paint made by Plastikote (should be able to get it at B&Q). It at least actually looks chrome rather than silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayl Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 why not get them colour coded to your car that looks pretty good if you do it right and its different to black and silver (unless your car is black or silver ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakey Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Cheers guys, I did try a bit of Plastikote too, it was a bit better but not quite as refective as I would hope. More than the Halfrauds shite anyways. Jay, I'm not really a fan of colour coded lights, think it makes the front look too much colour, less is more ya know... unless its orange! Think what i'm looking for is a way to chrome the plastic to the same level it was done in the first place. Not sure how hard and expensive it is or if I can't do it myself where to get it done.
