damitzmike Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Today I opened up my headlights to paint the insides black. I painted the reflexting chrome around the bulbs black as well and now I cant see a damn thing at night. If I sanded them down and used some chrome spray paint would it work? any sugestions besides buying new headlamps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z31jaime Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 find a used set +1 or you could try a hobby shop and see if they sell the gold leaf stuff in chrome, its like a spray on glue and u tap sheets of chrome paper and the chrome peels off and sticks to the glue....only problem is im not sure how it will handle the heat of the bulbs.........glue + heat +metal paper stuck on...might =bad.
