That would work. You are correct that the silver paint looks bad on the outside. What we were talking about was using it "inside" the housing to help reflect the light. That or the chrome tape works very well inside the guage cluster and the inside of tail light housing.

In the past I have used mirrored plexi-glas too. Anything you can do to reflect the light back through the lens will help.
