What brand is best chrome spray paint. Want it for best reflective spray.
-
Reflective such as for inside the fleetside tail/brake lights or behind the turn lens on the 70's trucks?
If so - I've used either Krylon or Rustoleum 'Aluminum' for this with good results. I guess one could also use the "1000-mile per hour" aluminum tape for some of the surfaces.

Yes Jason. Want to use best reflective paint for dash cluster and tail lights. Want "chrome "type
Paint . Read where rustoleum is not good. What about chrome dupl-color? I think chrome tape
Would loosen up with heat from bulbs. I'm not fond of tape for anything like that. Zilverado
Did his with special paint he used in Canada. It looked just like chrome. Thanks Jerry

I used the chrome tape 2 years ago to apply to the inside housing of the rear tail lights. Have checked a few times since and the Texas heat has not loosened it at all. They are a lot more brighter . Cleaned with glass cleaner then alcohol.

Hi Jerr-Conn:
Concerning the plastic dash bezel, I tried to refurbish mine a couple of years ago but was unsuccessful with painting the chrome trim for the instruments...I could get the black color of the panel to look good, and I tried a couple of products for the chrome, but just could not get the chrome to look right. Concerning the dash bezel you will most likely have to bite the bullet and buy a new one to look acceptable.
Regards,
Henry

Pure white gives the best reflective values.
