first off sorry if i have posted in the wrong section

ok so i have a set of broken bricks i am tryin to repair i am goin to
throw some super made clear covers and . 1 of the lamps lost its reflective finish the chromy aluminum finish.
and wanted to see if theres any type of spray paint thatll really make it look like thhis again. ive tried autozone home depot but its not cutting it.
i just need something as shiny as possible so it reflects mi Hids bright and wont melt the paint off,

need it to get to this finish again.

much thanks in advanced guys.

Honestly I think you'd be better off trying to find some fogs that will fit in the square spaces, I remember the light output on bricks being absolutely horrible and having to use the high beams all the time. Either way good luck, maybe these will work?

thanks for the input. might consider these/
also ive tried spraying these with that chrome paint. but come out nothing
like the cap. it comes out a little shiny but not ass good as factory ,
think i should be good with just that little bit of reflectiveness and Hids guys ?

you said 'super made clear covers'....does someone sell a replacement cover for these? just curious because I've looked before and couldn't find such a thing.

its a metal aluminum finish. but if sanded it just scratches of the shiny surface off and
turns black. so once its scratched off thats pretty much it .

You're going to need the pro stuff to get it back to looking like factory.
