My t-5 reflectors are not as shinny as they one were, I tried spray painting them witht he brightest spray paint i could fine but it made it worse.

So I was thinking of using HVAC Aluminum Foil Repair Tape?


What are your thoughts?

usually cleaning them with a little water and vinegar helps clean them up quite well. now that you painted them I'd strip the paint with paint thinner and try a good cleaning. i would be worried about getting the foil tape on straight with not bubbles.
