Sorry again if that's a stupid question lol.

I didn't spray any orange black, there is a proper chromed reflector behind the orange overlay on a blob. With the bulbs its very easy to give orange ones a quick over mist of silver spray, they are still very bright and orange afterwards when they are used. I would not spray a reflector black at all. have a look on the net for a guide to doing it to a bug.. I'm sure one or two others have done this on this forum

The Silvertech bulbs are expensive though!
