Title: spectra chrome
Post by: johnny ro on November 06, 2009, 05:30:45 AM
who will be first here to redo their GS in chrome paint?

I kind of wish they were selling a do it yourself version, looks like you have to have a body shop spray this stuff.

You can get chrome spray paint that actually looks like chrome when sprayed depending on how well the surface is prepped.  Have used it on smaller projects but haven't thought about actually painting the GS that color since i think it would almost be hazardous if the sun is reflecting off of it then you will almost surely be blinding someone else and maybe even yourself. 

I used to think chrome was the way to go until i actually had chrome and realized how much of a PIA it was to keep it clean.
