Chrome spray to refurb fog light reflectors

[Brazilianhipster]

I'm currently refurbing my E86 fog lights. Has anyone used a chrome spray to refurb the mirrored backing within the unit?

I've come across this product whist trawling the internet. Anyone used this, or is there a better product out there?

Thanks all.

If that works it would look better than the Matt black I’ve just used

Aaaaaand I just saw the price

I’ll stick to Matt black

Black is fine if you fit LED lights that have their own reflector.

Is there any reason for not using silver paint?

I watched a YouTube video on chrome paints and bought some of this £7

Reviews are decent.

I did mine in a light grey silver. They looked good, but not as bright as a mirror chrome would be.
For how many times they're used in a year (never for me) it was perfectly good.

Then I just got rid of them altogether and stuck a pre-facelift bumper on with the awesome round fog lights.

I fit the LED bars inside. Don’t need a reflector so black paint works

Which LED bars out of interest? Been idly looking for something to shove in there but haven't really settled on anything yet

@bigwinn could you provide this information from what I sent you please? Egyptian internet is not the most useable. Ta.
