Sorry for the rant but this old guy is just a meat and potatoes type, give me the info on your product not a bunch of hype.

I took my rain deflectors to a new place that opened up here in town. They mainly do chrome rim repairs ect but also some other stuff. I had them spray chrome my rain deflectors so they would match my SS vent shades.
My OPINION is that I personally do not like it but its based solely on my two pieces. They just don't have the SMOOTHNESS I was looking for. They remind me of paint with orange peel in it. The guy also told me to keep it out of the sun for a while????
He wanted $50 to do them but when I picked them up one had a small "curly-Q" in it and he "let me have them" for $40. Now I wish I had just painted them body color! Live and learn.
In talking with the two guys they showed me on their computer some of the work thats been going on it California where shops are spraying the entire fenders... or entire car, and then painting graphics on them leaving the chrome showing where the paint normanlly would. Imagine flames.......with chrome.
I'm not to impressed. With what I have or the other stuff but who knows what the current generation will do! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 355 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 355 | i watched a u-tube video where they sprayed a darth vader helm in something that looked like a pressure washer and the chrome effect was as good as any model kit chrome i had seen it stated that it was useable on almost any type of material so i was kinda wondering about durabilty as well

SPRAY CHROMING * YOUTUBE These guys sell it in a SPRAY CAN but it's not cheap! . | | |
