So Im in the middle of completing my CC Mod and some glue got on the chrome housing. I was taking a towel and water to it and noticed the chrome started to slowly wear away. Is there paint to respray the housing?
TIA!!!

Nope. You are good to paint them black....
By the way, you used glue to do what?

It's the oem glue. Came off when I separated the lense and it goo'd it's way on the chrome. I have halogens, so I can't paint them black.
I'm thinking I can spot paint them with a can of chrome paint?

Don't use chrome paint. I don't even know why they call it chrome paint as the finish doesn't look like the can cover at all.
The actual finish is more like a semi gloss aluminium paint not mirror finish at all.

Wait why can't you paint them black because they're halogens..?

It doesn't matter if there halogens or xenons... It's the same...
paint em black you! just dont pay the where the halogens reflect off of... (duh! jk)
