http://alsacorp.com/products/mirrachrome/m...ra_prodinfo.htm In their 'photos' section, they have a chrome 928.... I can just imagine a chrome 914...talk about bling! (IMG:http://alsacorp.com/products/mirrachrome/showcase/chromecar1_L.jpg) |

Do it. Tell me how it works. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I'd like to get a setup to do this, but without a first hand sample, nobody's interested.

Is it me, or does that 928 look like Queen Amidala's ship in Episode I?
From the looks of the video, look how fast that stuff dries! I'd need a gallon for a 914...not sure I'd be willing to gamble $1300 in pant...but that could look pretty cool if done right! |

Yes, I've used it on a stair rail. Stuff is very good. BMW uses their product on their wheels. Very trick, very expensive. Take some technic to get it right. We used black under coat for a stainless steel look. Use white under coat for an aluminum look. Blend for steel look. They have many cool paints. I like the color over chrome, might make a real cool bumper........

I like that. Cuts down on the number of variables to screw up or have to experiment with in different weather conditions. |

I've got some "near chrome" powdercoating powder, I haven't used it yet. Once I do I'll post a report. Not as handy as this stuff tho becuase it can only go on metal, and only on parts that will fit in an oven. That mirrachrome stuff would rock on fiberglass bumpers.

I've been thinking about this, and I just don't think an all chrome 914 would look good. I think it'd look best on an curvy car. Even a 928 is a bit bland. How about a chrome Pacer? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Just saw a NAPA auto parts store with the OCC chopper dudes in a commercial about them chroming out a napa delivery pickup. Thing was so bright, Mickey was blinded and crashed into it. The spot definetly missed the comic mark. |

What's the music in the third mirrachrome video? I recognize it, but I can't put my finger on it. Arr, it's driving me nuts!

Just thought that would look sweet on my plastic California mirrors and bumpers, but I guess its cost prohibitive.

Been using metalizers on models for a long time... may be cheaper to go Testors..

I just got a dvd from innate.com last night showing some killer effects that can be done with mirrachrome and another product they sell called black chrome. I'm going to be getting some small bottles to play with soon! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Thanks for the heads up Capt tripps
Here's a home theater I'm working on (for a customer) where the product would be perfect!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Attached image(s)

Elaborate on this "Testors" you speak of, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) old and wise maker of custom gitfiddles... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) In other words....is it cheaper? Wait a minute....are you talking about Testor's model paint?
