Chrome colored paint ???
It's been a while since I used any "chrome" paint. I do remember it not being very good. But that was a long time ago. Is there a really good chrome paint out there ??? Rattle can would be preferred since I don't need too much. I have a fiberglass center panel for the dash radio/gauges area that I would like to paint top look like the factory version. I was figuring on using wrinkle paint for the main part then a chrome color for the outer trim color. If I need to clear it afterwards to help keep it from rubbing off which was the problem with the old stuff no big deal. Just looking for a paint that has a really good chrome appearance.

Duplicolor is the closet to chrome but touch it with wax or try to clear it its ruined.
My brother works for a prototype toy company and they chrome plastic or anything even cloth but its not a spray its done with a black base then water is sprayed on and it turns chrome like majic , then needs to be protected with clear coat.
I know there are places that do this process , I had my glass 55 chevy bumpers done years ago but the place closed .

I found we have a hydro graphics place here in town. I'll stop by and see what they say. I'm considering carbon in the center and a polished look on the edge. I'll do a follow up after I talk to them. Originally Posted by bsinclair
