Thinking of partially painting my fiberglass bumpers using chrome paint.

first off the spectra chrome SYSTEM is not cheap. Unless you have someone local with the system forget it.
Second, the chrome paint is not " cheap " but is affordable. I have some sample specimens a company sent me and was not impressed, HOWEVER I have some of the actual paint and am quite certain the samples were done in a pretty quick, minor prep condition, and can look pretty good if PROPERLY done. Give me a few weeks and I will have a sample done. I can tell you in advance, it is NOT a straight forward process. The parts need to be painted all the way out with black, then wet sanded and buffed, THEN sprayed with the chrome, cleared, wet sanded and buffed again. Not quick, not easy, but probably cheaper then real chrome |
