Taillight housing finish restoration

The chrome/mirror paint of my tail light housing interior is gone. Any recommendation or tutorial about restoration of chrome paint for light housing?.

Thanks

I’ve had mine “chrome sprayed” professionally (after prepping them myself) & they’re exactly like new, perfect @ a fraction of the cost of actually chrome plating. It’s not just cheap spray paint & shooting it, it’s a process. Took a while to find the right person who knew how to do it.

Holy cow!. It looks like "Terminator" liquid metal. It is also quite expensive. ($40.00 per 15 ml). IŽll try to get more info about this new paint.

Thanks
