Anyone HELP OUT?

The best way is to use photobucket, an internet photo hosting site, acres of storage for free and they provide links to your pcis so they show in forums like this one

chrome spray?

You can get plastic chromed (as we all know) but they are not riders, any flex and kiss goodbye to the chrome

I reckon chrome spray at 6.99 a can from b n q has to be cheaper and probably more flexible then

in the US , I saw once in the TV program "OverHaulin" (cars) a Paint house that "chrome" all kind of plastic material... it could be that.(and it was flexible)

Maybe, but won't have the finish of chrome and certainly won't bling like those.

Have you tried it yet Marty? Not lookin to rock the boat as I haven't tried myself but have heard good things from a couple of people about it now, I think at 6,.99 I should just push the boat out meself

have messed about in the past, but to be honest to get a proper chrome finish you've got to get real chrome

in my oppinion the only way to get Tuffs looking the dogs nuts.......is to just clean them and leave them!

the stuff you are looking for is called "chrome FX"
its not just a paint but a whole painting system. i think there
is a couple of places in the uk that do it but you will have to contact
ALSO CORP who are the manufacturers in the usa for information.

here's a link to what it can do

it is awesome stuff , very hard wearing and identical to chrome.
as for the bq stuff dont bother. its never cures hard enough and within
a week it goes a dull grey

but to be completely honest leave them the original colour

Seen this on the burner forum - rb.com

Perhaps this gives you a clearer idea about how it's done.
