What "color" is available for the silver used in the taillights of a '66? Will "any" color "silver" or chrome" in a can work??

TIA

Eastwoods sells a paint for this type of app.
Sorry but I think duct tape might be kinda honky if you know what I mean...Eric

I used some "chrome" spray paint that I bought at auto zone on my 69 and it really helped brighten up the tail lights. The previous owner had painted the inside the same color yellow as the body and I could barely see even the brake light, now it is fine.

Try Krylon "dull aluminum" paint.

Sevt_...the duct tape I was referring to is the shiny aluminum foil adhesivce backed tape they us in the industry to tape the "new" style A/C duct together. Not the old fashioned "duck tape" we know and love so well...

But, I think I am going to try to use some of the "chrome" in a can...

Tahnks for hte help

After that I also used scotch-brite pads too clean up the lenses and rattle-canned them with clear. They looked brand new graemlins/thumbsup.gif
