Title: candy apple paint
Post by: firebird4130 on March 07, 2008, 08:15 PM: Hi, just wondering how you get candy apple paint done, I've got a chrome frame, is there anywhere you can buy translucent spray paints, or would it need a more specialist spray job, would that cost a lot?
Thanks ,
Fraz

the head set cup was painted straight over the chrome. i've found the paint to be very durable and quite resistant to scratching off.
