I just got done repainting my reflective surface on my taillights chrome, they shine alot better than what they did. I just cleaned it off really well and went for it, I don't have any pics of it in the dark though, cause unfortunately my camaro is under construction. The tail light on the bottom is the one before.

 

another pic

 

heh thats unique and they look good im curious how much brighter they will shine when you brake/turn or watever.

 

sweet man , jow much brighter does it make the lights?

 

The gridstyle already has the a cheapo chrome/paint covering. They're a tad brighter but not a whole lot.

...interested to see how your's turn out!

 

what if you actually had it chrome dipped maybe 2 layers?

 

yah the old ones I couldn't see the reflection of myself in but after I painted it I could. my auto body instructor told me he did that with is stang tail lights and said that the factory ones looked like they were burnt out, which is how much brighter the new ones were. I can't dip plastic otherwise I would (possibly be too bright). There is something though, a spray on chrome finish, just as expensive as kameleon paint. check out this web site. check out their product showcase.http://www.alsacorp.com/ChromeFX.html

 

interesting idea, i'd like to see how it looks. to bad you couldn't do one side and put them back together for comparison.

i like the site you linked as well, has some interesting takes on mirror like finish paints.

i particularly like how they used it here. if it has that much of a flex agent to put on material imagine what chrome leather seats would look like.

bling....bling....

 

lol....that's it i'm painting my next car in chrome red. watch out now, i wonder how that would look for the tail lights?


edit: they have a red candy chrome! would that dim the lights from say a solid chrome? wonder how it would look on a car......

:lala:

 

sorta like this only red.

 

hmmm.....maybe too much like a toy???

interesting though, stuff is a bit expensive.

 

what did you use?? I hate chrom paint it always looks just silver to me.

 

Very interesting, Ill have to think about doing that when I go back and remod my taillgihts again, brighter is always better.

 

my plenum looked alright for a little while after i painted it...

 

you would have to give your windshield a dark tint or else the reflection from the sun would be unbearable

 

in the pic that does look sweet too bad i couldnt see it in person before i bought the stuff yah know. Id do my park/turn signals but i think it wouldnt look as good as the chrome gm used and id ruin them.
