With rain calling a halt to play Sunday, I got curious what a headlight reflector would look like, painted fake chrome silver. Short answer..........not good......not good. I'm using blackout lights, so I was tempted to do this instead of paying >$200 EACH for re-silver, but I am reading up on electroplating DIY. Shouldn't be that hard.

Finally got around to cleaning off the headlight dress rims. Light sand & etch primer was all that was needed. I resisted the urge to attempt removal of two small dings in one rim.
