Title: Fog light spray paint
Post by: BARNPOT2000 on September 6, 2021, 19:50
I was thinking of having a go at refurbishing the OEM fog lights which I have removed from my car. Has anyone got a recommendation for a good reflector spray paint which gives a nice shiny reflective finish?

Kobra Krome gets a good report here:

Thanks, I tried the Kobra Krome but not really a super reflective finish, slightly dulled finish. Still looking for something to give more oem finish. Think it's still worth pursuing refurbishment as the OEM fogs are so much better built than the fleabay ones, although they do the job and look fine.

The ones from the early Prius fit, I'm told.

Hi Carolyn, thanks, yes, I've fitted some replacements, but I think it would be cool to bring the old oem ones back from the dead if I can 😊.

I can confirm that early Prius (Mk2?) ones fit. These are Ebay specials, but I liked the colour. All plastic and obviously not of the same quality as the originals but I hardly ever find them useful anyway. IMG_1417.jpg
