so i bought a set of projectors but the housing needs to be rechromed. i already removed the glasses using the oven. i tried aresol can paint but i failed. i used the method of glossy black paint and chrome paint on top of it but didnt work. i read that for these parts you need to "vacuum metalize" which i have no idea what it is nor idea how much it costs and idk where to get it done. any help?

Plastidip a different color.
Now that they're out you could do a projector lens color mod. All you gotta do is spray the back of the projector housing with a matte paint that's a dark color. I think they're black from the factory, not sure. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
