I don't have a SC, but I know some of you have painted the chrome on your headlights black. I was wondering how you guys masked off the parts you don't want painted?

I accidently damaged some of the chrome on my headlights so I want to paint parts of it, but I can't think of how I can mask off parts without sticking tape to the chrome. It seems like the chrome is really easily damaged on my headlights. Can I stick masking tape to the chrome, be able to peel it off, somehow clean off the residue, and not damage the chrome? I was thinking that a product like goo gone or something may work.

If you take the headlight apart, the chorome piece is separate from everything else, so if you were going to paint the whole chrome piece a different color, you really wouldn't have to tape anything off.

Here is a pic of the headlight apart that me and my friend did yesterday as a matter of fact.

What if I wanted to mask off part of the chrome? How would I go about doing that? I actually have a 4Runner so my headlights are different. This is what mine look like. You can kind of see the marred part on the bottom of the headlight in this pic.
