Alright so i bought another pair of headlights (04-05) to black out, so i went through the process and had taped off the turn signal reflector part, when trying to take off the tape some of the chrome paint came off. it bothers me and it seems too much to just leave be. does nebody have a remedy for this? i dont wana just get some random chrome paint and have it come out even worse

you could always just paint the whole chrome part where the signal is

Sucks man same thing happened to me when I did mine, had to end up painting it all black.

I would sand down the chrome and repaint with chrome paint were you want it to be chrome.

you could always just sell them and get some TDM ones from ebay that are already done the way you want them

You could try painting the chrome part bronze.
I remember some guy here did that on a red car looked pretty good.
Also it would match your rims and would go well with black.
Its worth a shot.

the headlight chrome is not a paint, its a vacuum metalizing process which you wont be able to do on your own. either send it to a place that does it, or but new lights. getting new headlights would prolly be cheaper.

A little late now, But for anyone else who has had this problem try some Lacquer thinner's. I never pulled apart the headlight's on the car or have any idea what they are made from in the back.
But I know Lacquer thinner's will scrape sh|t off a Cat's behind...


Another option is to go to home depot and buy the chrome reflective paint
