Wanted to get rid of the orange diffuser inside so rather than cut it up & get the bits out I took the long road. One thing that annoyed me more is that apart from the orange bit is that the inside is white/light grey plastic. The only chrome is the reflector.

 

here it is after being in the oven:

 

 

 

Primed up the inside, then a nice coat of gloss black which is needed to apply the chrome.

 

 

 

Final result with one of those bulbs that light orange but are silver when off.

 

 

 

Definitely updated the look I think, whatcha rekon?

brilliant!! what temperature did you cook 'em on?!?!? ;)

125c to get em apart for about 10 minutes (but right at the bottom of the oven).

 

But to put it back I did it again at the bottom at 65c for about 20 mins otherwise the chrome paint would blister. That sealant they use is hardcore stuff lol.

what chome paint did you use?

Excellent... only struggled the other day breaking the orange dome out...

Cheers guys

 

I've a couple of chome paints, HoK Kustom Krome, but I used Alclad Chrome this time as the HoK stuff is very unforgiving and it's a fiddly bit to paint! The key is the prep. The smoother the gloss black base the better the chrome.

Cheers for that - will have to wait until noone's around & sneak my lights into the kitchen!!

nice job, may use the same methods to re-do my headlight inserts.

Looks great
