hello all,

i have purchased a pair of projector headlights on this forum some time ago, i'm modding it to fit angel eyes in but when i opened the projector housing, the reflector (where the bulb attatches on) looks crappy and burnt, nothing is damaged but i rubbed it off and got all the chrome off. my question is there anywhere in brissy where i could get it rechromed?

cheers

Nam

thanks for your suggestion mnc, but i already tried buying chrome paint in a can but it turns out matt silver? yea looks like aluminium instead of chrome, but as much as i like diy i think this needs to be done by a professional, just dunno where.

Have you tried your local spray painter or panel beater?

ryan i dunno what your on about man, lol but but unfortunately i have tried the local pannel beater n they charge 50 bucks per housing, seems abit pricey but i'll keep looking around, might go wreckers for a similar one.

50 bucks for the paint that can look like metal chrome, you're nuts not doing it there for that price, that's a very damn decent bargain

doubt it's the same product I'd use, it's alot more than 50 for the product alone lol
