    Okay, so this guy at ProFinishes scared me too, not as bad, but almost. so, I ordered their (Alsa) video to see how difficult it is and maybe I will do it myself. will keep you all posted and maybe with photo's. And if all else fails, I can always just paint it grey again, yuck

    I think alsa has a video showing the guy doing the process in real time. I think you have to have a semi shiny surface to begin with for best results, but he just sprays the stuff on like spraypaint and presto-cadabra you have a mirrored finish. Looks easy enough. They can chrome anything too, even candles and wood and stuff. They also have some awesome effects for doing off the wall stuff.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Your right for the most part. You shot a black base coat like your doing dupont chrome Illusion, but you clear coat it for the gloss, then you lay a very dry powder coat of the chrome which I guess is a very fine aluminium like talc then clear coat it again for UV protection, but I'd still like to see it done and the end result other then a computer graphic. and at 429.00 a quart for the kit, I just want a warm fuzzy before I start
