sputtering reflectors with chrome spray/ Pics

[chrisse242]

It works. I had two plastic reflectors that had scratches all over them from trying to use high domes in them. I sanded all of the silver colour away, polished the surface with chrome paste and sprayed something called chrome-effect-spray on it. The surface now looks very nice. It's not as shiny as the normal textured reflectors so I guess I may loose some light but I can't see a big difference in overall brightness in my wolfight mod. The hotspot is a little less defined but I think the sidespill is a bit brighter now. Together with my self-made polycarbonate lens the wolflight now has a perfect beam. I will post pictures of the beam and the reflector later this day or tomorrow.

Here we go:

pictures were taken with different camera settings, the sputtered reflector is not brighter than in stock condition it's just a different beam.
