Sprayed my new 18s silver the other week but they dont show the deep dish so well. I hear you can buy chrome effect paint in a can. Any one used this and know where i can get this.

 

Your help most appreciated.

o0o0o0o, just thought on an idea, i would be intrested in this also:D!!

its all 100% crap mate :(

 

You would be best trying to polish it

be a nightmare job to polish. Might spray them black, shadow silver then.

Chrome paint is poo, just looks like silver paint when sprayed!

seen some that claim its 98% as good as the real thing

Thanks mate, but looking into doing it myself as money is very tight. How much is a good price though?

ive used some of this paint in the past and to be honest i'd say dont waist your money. If you want to paint the light fittings in your house its ok but anything thats going to get dirty is a no no.

thanks for the advice guys.

iv used it before looks good for a while but goes really dull after a bit and its not like you can polish it up again

Chrome effect paint out of a can is essentially a pile of :xxx: Defineately not a good idea on an exterior part!

 

Polishing or repainting in a bright silver is the way to go i think ;)

Do you know of any codes for bright silver. I used 350z silver on my first attempt but would like them brighter. I will try and take a pick to show you.

Where are you buying paint from?

 

Personally i go to an independant place close by and just ask them for the brightest silver they do. You can pick from loads of swatches then too :)

 

Even the brightest silver is not close to chrome, but if its very metallic its a good look i think. More tasteful than chrome IMO :)

paint was halfords. Going to get some made at a specialist now. What shall i ask for?

what did you use isaac for your headlights thats nice and bright :)

Just go in and ask to look at their swatches and ask to see the brightest silvers they do and pick one. You'll need clear coat on top also to give it a nice shine and what not ;)

Its plasticote chrome effect spray paint and yeah its OK, however that is in a sealed unit. You cannot put clear coat on top of it as it turns it grey! So having it on an exterior part will not work at all! :(

I was just wondering for my headlights :rofl:
