chrome paint
webbie:
Has anyone used it to good effect on any of their builds I've just read a feature in custom car where someone has built a very cool hot wheels type bubble top car and used chrome paint on some of the running gear and it don't look bad.
deeman:
This has been covered before.most chrome paint you can buy in cans kind of gives a chrome effect when first sprayed on,but will dull when you laquer it.The only paint i know of that you can laquer over is called Sparkling glass basecoat by Lechlers.It is VERY thin and needs lots of coats.oh..and its £80 a litre!were you thinkin of painting a frame? :daumenhoch:
webbie:
Ok cheers not a frame but i have some hazard light rims and the chrome has bubbled up and thought paint may be a cheap fix ;)
ED209:
chrome powder just goes dull.. same as paint like Deeman says.
no real quick fix :(
