Default Reflective stuff flaking away under taillight. Fixable?

Besides buying a new taillight, is it fixable? My digicam is dead but I'll try to describe this the best I can until I find some spare double a batteries lying around the house...

On the driver side taillight, the white part, NOT red... I think it's the reverse part not sure? But the silver reflective stuff under the cover looks like it's flaking off. Or cracked or whatever. It's not a big deal to me but right now, but I'm trying to clean up the exterior (hence why I debadged) to give it a more clean look. And I know this one little thing is just gonna make me flip someday.

Any way to fix it without spending too much money? Again, I'm not too knowledgable with detailing so go easy on vocab and products lol.

Car is a 99 ex coupe by the way...
