Wondering what you all prefer. I've tried Spaz Stix ultimate Mirror Chrome with the clear coat suggested of the same brand. Painted fog light grills (spares) and they look like "aluminum."
 Thanks |

I was thinking outside the box on this chrome paint. Was wanting to paint my fiberglass bumpers cut out for oil cooler. This option would be more cost effective and lighter than custom made with cut out for oil cooler chrome steel bumpers. So 30 sq ft coverage for front and rear bumpers painted chrome for $300.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) EASY CHROME’s shine is near equal to our silver nitrate system. It’s the same level of gloss as real chrome. So it can repair chrome as well. Fix your chrome with just a can of Easy Chrome in the trunk. As easy as that! The same shine as our Chroming machines but in a simple spray! It will not dull out after topcoat (top coat is optional; this stuff is pretty tough without it) This will not fade for many years. 10 year warranty. Basecoat 70% solids. It is like Glass! Same for topcoat. Pretty crazy and durable without top coat. (Wheels will need topcoat) Shines like real chrome! So easy to use! $239. But you could do 3 bumpers or more with it. Better have a super smooth straight plastic part. It will show every imperfection. Glass parts are not that clean. Bob B |
