how to paint plastic chrome?
Hey guys,
I've been touching up the trim in the cabin and noticed the chrome on the cabin overhead light had faded to greenish. I hit with an SOS/brillow pad and discovered that the bezel is plastic and the chrome was some kind of coating or paint. I bought Krylon chrome spray paint, and painted the bezel, but it looks flat and not very shiny. Any suggestions? How do I obtain a chrome-reflective finish? I have tried buffing it out with lens polish and can't tell much difference. Is more sanding the answer, or do I need some kind of silver/chrome leaf to apply to the plastic? Thanks for the suggestions.
