Not sure if collar is the right term, but the plastic shroud that surround my headlights look like crap.
How should I prep the plastic prior to painting and then what type of paint should be used? I am looking for a silver type color to make my polished Fuchs. I realize this is a pretty open ended question, but if anyone could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it. thx |

Any paint that says it's plastic compatable should work. They do make chrome paint, but I would match them to the body color to make the body lines flow better.
