I painted my headlights and they look great. Except for the chrome i taped off. the painters tape took it off and now it looks like crap. Not sure what to do next ?? any ideas? chrome paint? or just forgetta bout it.




and the really visible one

it would have been sweet. theyre darker just lighting makes them look kinda greyish

 

maybe just spray some chrome spray paint on like a paper plate and then use a q tip and touch the areas up?

 

yeah i was thinking chrome paint too. even if it is a different shade of chrome it will be less noticable then black. another thought was to just paint that part black, but loose the reflection..?.

 

also what the heck am i going to do to the other headlight so it wont do the same thing?

 

not too sure on stopping it from happening again but when the rust bubbles on me wheel wells chip i just qtip black paint on them maybe someone who has done theres already will chime in

 

Might be a stupid idea but you might be able to dampen the tape with a bit of water so it doesn't adhere as well? Idk if that will work or not but it's a thought.

 

just paint the bowl black. its just a blinker. tint your reflectors while your at it

 

Defore putting the tape on put it on your shirt the lent will make it not so sticky than barely put it on thats what I did and mine chipped a little like yours and. I cant tell that they are chipped when they are on the truck.

 

i think im going to q-tip it with some chrome paint. if that dont work ill paint it black. i will try the lint trick on the other side. not sure if i wanna tint the reflectors or not. ill see tomorrow when i hold them up to the truck.

 

First off, Ive NEVER seen chrome paint that looked good. Secondly, I would look for a set of headlights that are damaged or broken that you can get the inserts out of. The last and best option is to let me retrofit soem projectors in there for you so you can paint the whole thing and not have to worry about that problem anymore. ;-)
