I was trying to address a little bit of rust on the rims of my fog light reflectors, so I dipped the rims in EvapoRust and it took the shinny right off. It looked terrible so I decided to take it all off and start from scratch.
  It looks like there is a layer of paint or sealer that the reflector coating was adhered to. I'm wondering if: 1. Anyplace has these for sale new? 2. Can I just strip and paint with silver paint? 3. Should these things be chromed? Thanks. George |

As a stop gap in the past, I resurfaced the insides of several lamp assemblies with aluminum A/C duct tape. It is highly reflective and with care can be molded to surfaces with great results.
