I've never seen a spray on chrome that wasn't simply, silver paint.

Re: Spray on chrome anybody ???<<<<

I watched one of those hot rod TV programs cant remember witch one but they built a early 60's cadillac for Billy Gibbons (ZZ Topp) they did the whole roof in some sort of 2 or 3 stage paint that looked like real chrome.

Kinda neat but im sure it would chip just like any other paint.

EDIT: found a pic

Re: Spray on chrome anybody ???<<<<

I saw them spray on chrome on
PIMP MY RIDE. It wasn't paint though, it was sprayed on , but kinda reminded me of spraying a water hose. It looked really good when they got done with it. I have seen the stuff your talking about but don't have the first clue about it or where to get it.

Re: Spray on chrome anybody ???<<<<

I haven't seen any that is worth the money, the stuff I used once came off when you rubbed it or wiped it with a rag.

I agree with the above, save the money and go to a chrome shop.
