spray on chrome??

[meticulous]

chrome skyways look wank and cheap,  the surface has to be absolutely perfectly smooth and nick free to get then right finish for chrome spray,  he may as well wrapped them in tin foil...

Some peeps just gota push the boundary of nice and stupid.

Defo not my cup of Tea....but whatever floats your boat

Just googled that and had a read.
Candy orange over nickel it was.
The chrome wheels seemed to have been liked by enough to vote it winner.
I see the wheels were vacuum plated not chrome painted. Looking at that paint process the wheels may have looked better if they had been through that instead.
I think the bike would have looked the dogs with some white alloy hubbed tuffs,

Really    i think that beat looks fooking horrible, but each to their own 

Just because it doesn't have twin-pinchers fitted, doesn't mean it is rubbish.   

To be fair, I only put the pic up so Leehunt's fantasy of chrome tuffs could be realised.   

Im still Wanking.. did somebody call my name..?

McLaren have been using it on their race cars for years  .

It's not really practical to paint or coat Tuff wheels due to brake rub etc. (ask N2cus  ) but that build wasn't about practicality.  It was all about pushing the boat out for the build-off and it paid off as it won.

I agree, even though it wasn't my 'cup of tea' I thought it was pushing the boundries and thinking outside of the box.

I doubt you'll be able to convince grumpy-bollox Pickle though.

Hi
I have this kit imported from the states.. Looking to launch a little side line business this year. Mainly classic car stuff that is too delicate or dented to go through the normal plating process as dents in bumpers (and frames) can be filled and primed before chroming giving the perfect finish ... I will be doing colours and once this crap weather sorts itself out I'll be testing out bmx bits, my stem, levers, calipers etc.. And chrome too (the trick to the chrome is also the correct tinted lacquer, I thought I could use normal 2k but it will make it look yellowed) ... I am also experimenting in plasti dip which is amazing for changing the colour of your car alloys and even whole car ! Then when your fed up ....just peel it off !, I'm experimenting in lacquering that too for a shiny finish which can be peeled off. I've bought myself a van and think I can get it mobile to come to you too rather than having to post bits etc ...I was going to do a post to see if anyone here would be interested , but seeing as tho the question has been asked ...

It's a great piece of kit ! Will post pics when I can get to the garage
