Re: Chrome spray paint??

Anything that you can buy off the shelf at auto parts or hardware stores is crap. The long and short of it is that it'll just look like silver spraypaint with about 30% reflectivity.

Here are three sources to buy "true" chrome paint:

http://www.motostorm.com/gpage.html1.html

http://www.spazstix.com/xcart/produc...cat=300&page=1

If you're happy with silver, then go for it with the off the shelf stuff. All I'm telling you is that all the chrome spray bombs that you see at Autozone or Home Depot don't look even remotely as shiny as the caps that they put on the cans.

I would not get that chrome spray paint. I bought it for my rotors the rusted out hat on the rotor and the first layer looked kinda good, but after one coat it just looks silver.
