Painting tail light bezels w/ caliper paint
I plan to repaint the tail light bezels on my 72 Cutlass because the old paint is rubbing off. Someone whose opinion I trust recommended using silver caliper paint. My plan is to remove the bezels, rather than taping off, to avoid any chance of overspray. I'm wondering if there is any other prep work I should do, and if there are any other precautions I should take. Has anyone here used caliper paint on parts other than brakes before? What was the result? Thanks for your help. I'm new to the forums, and this is the first project I'm taking on by myself with my new car.

Use Krylon Dull Aluminum #1403. Just clean them with soap and water, and you may want to lightly scuff with a fine sandpaper, I masked off the lens before spraying, turned out nice. Yours will be harder than mine, as your lens are segmented, and my '71's are not.

It's been 2 years, and it still looks good!
