im trying to paint my headlight housing with a black chrome paint. I can not find a high heat paint in black chrome, does anyone have any suggestions? Please i need to do this soon

 

I used regular Krylon works fine doesnt need to be high temp or anything.

 

i figured the housing would get really hot from the hid? Are you sure it dosent have to be high heat, also did you do a black chrome? Pictures please

 

use a satin black

 

these are mr headlights but i want my housing to look like this one, does anyone know what paint i would need to achieve this look

 

yes, i did my own tailights to look like the JDM MR ones. i used black satin paint.. came out perfect!

There are some black chrome paints and processes.

I have also heard that people get good results painting over chrome or chrome paint with transparent black paint

Good luck man

 

nice find but wow that black chrome paint doesnt come cheap

 

OK, I found the ultimate Black Chrome, which is not a paint process but an actual chrome process on plastic. If I needed to do this, I would send my stuff to these guys.

Here's an example of their work...

After looking at this site, I am so tempted to send in some parts from my motorcycle to get done.
