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?

I had the same issue, ended up buying the piece from a member who had a broken projector from a wreck, but the chrome piece intact. I called to get a quote from a company to get it re-chromed, estimated around 200 for just the one piece.
