Title: Chrome paint
Post by: DN2168 on October 15, 2007, 06:29:16 PM
HI Guys,  Has anyone out there ever had anything to do with the chrome paint that you see advertised in street machine magazine. The 2 FC's that I have both have pitting in most of the cast trim & I was wondering about  sanding them filling the pitted areas & getting them done with the chrome paint. I know it won't look 100% like chrome but was just wondering how close it does look.

Thanks,
           Dean.

I have used it on my mates hot rod was very expensive and it looks OK but not really like chrome and at the end of the day it is still a painted finish and it looks like one and remember the stone chips. FC parts are not that hard to find I would be looking for parts with minimal pitting and go the CHROME but up to you . If I was building a drag car with fiberglass parts it would be my choice FC427
