    Default thoughts? paint work...

    ok this could be really really stupid
    could be unique and you could allllll rip off my idea..
    but then also yous could try it and tell me how crap an idea and all the faults with it!

    but here it goes...
    is it possible to paint plastic bumpers with 'chrome'?

    is it possible to paint with chrome?

    im sure i have seen 'chrome' spray cans.. and i have always liked the idea of been able to see mahself in the paint work... lol.. (although quite ugly)
    but yeh....it would look mad on a show car....

    but is it possible... id assume the paint work would have to be prime or it would look warped really easy...
    but like get the bumpers dipped like bikes?
    ooh i dunno i just like the idea..
    it ever been done etc??

    stay away from the chrome paint in a can . It just a high gloss silver
