Re: Best Appearence Mod I've Done Yet
Hey that turned out pretty good. You did a nice job of masking everything off and keeping the lines straight. Remember that link I gave you in the other thread about stripping your chrome off? Well this stuff here will give you the same effect as the other but it's ALOT cheaper:

A $60 bottle contains enough paint to do 4 wheels. This paint differs from the other stuff I showed you in that it works over a black base instead of needing a chrome base. I've got a bottle of it myself that I plan on using on a set of wheels that I'm currently polishing and the stuff in raw form looks almost identical to that weird silvery substance that was in those "Etch-A-Sketch" toys from back in the day. It's pretty trippy to watch what happens to it when you shake it up. Anyway just an idea I thought I'd throw out there.

There is only one spray can out on the market that I am aware of that holds up to a real clear coat. I cant find the link right now but I know the can is orange in color.

I guess it doesn't matter sense I purchased a can anyways.
