How many coats did you apply to the chrome? Also how did you prep the chrome and what did you use to reseal it? Looks like a weekend project for me

I did like 5 coats. No prep. I used that fusion for plastic. Use light coats so it doesn't run. I reheated the open lenses and squished them back together. Then find the link above for the flowable silicone to once over it. It took like 3hrs doing it right. Let me know if you have any other questions.

My headlights turned out great!! There is a small run on the passenger one, but with the cover on you cant even see it. I couldnt get all of the clips to clip together, but I siliconed the F*CK out of it lol! Also when I put the headlights back in, they seem to have a small gap on the bottom side of them. Was this always there? I could have sworn our stock headlights were completly flush with the car?
