What is the best product to use to restore the taillight reflectors? Most of the chrome like finish has come off.

QUOTE(gifted914 @ Apr 1 2014, 05:39 PM)  Hi, Had same problem so I have tried chrome spray but will probably change bulbs to LED ones with inbuilt reflector. We just got LED taillights from Spoke and have a set of taillight buckets setup just for the LED boards. We want to keep the original taillight assemblies with the OEM setup. Why? We want to be able to go stock quick if we want too. QUOTE(bluhun @ Apr 2 2014, 02:22 AM) Ouch!!! Vacuum chrome metalizing looks awesome, but the price tag is pretty high. I'm going to look in our area and see if there are any companies near us that do it. I looked at the Eastwood and Krylon products, but everywhere I look I see quite a few negative feedbacks. |
