a pal of mine who is spraying a couple of frames for me was talking about this today, he claims the good stuff is really expensive but looks the dogs when done, i think anyone can do it

there was a chap in the US who did a set of skyways for their streetbeat build off last year - very bling

hi the chrome paint thing can be done but alot of work is involved in doin the job right, by the time you have paid a bodyshop to paint it chrome you may has well have had a frame chromed. i chrome painted some motorbike parts for my dad and it can be a pain. its nothing like painting anything else. give me a candy flip with tinted laquer to do anyday.
