Have you ever used "chrome" spraypaint before?

any suggestions from you experts ??
what kind of chrome spray should I use, something highly heat resistant or does it not matter ??
I have a fresh set (unpainted) if you wanna trade for your black ones. Obviously the inside piece only. You pay shipping both ways.

Redlude - How did you get that shade of black? Did you use flat black with clear coat?

It was just a semi-flat black, but I sprayed it on in a textured fashion so it would look like plastic

Nope, just the clear lens. Where do you get your tsx lenses btw? Are they the best to use as far as quality and price go?

quality...okay. price...overpriced. but very easy to mod with it.

there are plenty more lenses that you can try out for cheaper but harder to find.
