Fog light question

A while ago my fog light lens were broken by, i assume, rocks. I didn't find out about it until sometime later, as a result some of the reflective "paint" in the enclosure was chipped off. I have then did the Lexan conversion, but it seems that the lexan lens didn't seal correctly, so I am going to re-do it again. This time I want to do things right, and part of that, is trying to possibly get back the original shinny reflective surface.

I am wondering I can just repaint it? Do they sell something like this (like spray paint)? Has anyone done is before?

if i remember from reading some other thread, i do'nt think you can paint the reflective part. i think you have to buy another one.


i'm pretty sure...

Okay... nevermind. It seems that I am just stupid and should have used the search first. Apparently this topic has been discussed before, and the conclusion is that the chrome paint solution just won't work.

I guess my options are to either get a new set, or possibly get the reflective part rechromed.
