The Chrome on my projectors chrome ring thing have come off, any way to fix it???
It just disappeared when i touched it.... (doing the LHD convertion) Thought about 1/16 model build kit car's chrome paint.... but dont want to ruin anything... Last option will be just paint it black... will that work/be cool? (anyone done it?) Pic: http://s753.beta.photobucket.com/user/tto0...?sort=3&o=0 |

yes i did but the the orinal one is more shiny and you can see your reflection as a mirror. you wont achieve the same results with a rattle can.
even body shops dont have chrome paint. I really have no idea how toyota and other companies get that shiny chrome looking. this is mine.. not bad and is the closet paint to chrome.

Its a special super-thin plastic sheet that is heated up and vacuum formed onto the projector shroud.
