I need to know what would be best for the chrome-like reflective area on the inside of the housings. Some is wore off, I plan on cleaning them and scraping the loose bits off. What is the best thing to use? A type of chrome paint maybe? Thanks all! Wally.

I’ve never seen an actual “Chrome” type paint that’s shiny. If your preference is chrome paint, have another look at what's on the market. Some pretty good looking chrome paint has come on the market in the past couple years. Example: https://alsacorp.com/product/easy-chrome/
