The name just slipped of my mind, but a lot of people here use the "silver leaf" method on their headlights.

I guess you mean Bare Metal Foil (BMF), an adhesive backed metal foil.

I kind of thought that it would be cool after seeing orange county choppers. The fire bike they did with the gold leaf was awesome. Good luck.
