Hey guys I was wondering if its ok to paint the chrome on my 100W offroad lights. If so, what paint is best? Would I have to use a high heat stove paint?

If he is... Yeah you can do it. Chrome is pretty hard to prep right- but once you've got it stripped down you are good to go.

IDK if you'll need high heat paint or not...They'll get warm I'm sure- but IDK if they are THAT hot...

Ya sorry I should have clarified. The chrome ring around the light and the back. I know the 100W runs pretty hot, but it is hot enough to warrant something other than krylon fusion?

Go to your local home center and buy the spray paint made for BBQ grills. It's a bit cheaper than engine block paint.
