Mr G's in the states do it, Loadsamoney! don't know of anywhere in the UK. I'm sure someone was telling me about a multi step paint system for models that was just like chrome, someone might know a bit more about that...

Yes, someone posted on that. You get a fantastic finish, just like chrome. not cheap, but cheaper than chrome.

I have the silverchrome set up, just too busy to get involved in it, someone make me an offer and try it, cost ?150 with the guns etc, you just need some de ionised water

John that was me you can buy the paint from Hannetts models they have a web site. You first have to spray the bit with gloss black paint I use halfords and then you air brush the paint on once dry you can Bananarama! I have done one of the bits that go between my door arm rests

Yeh please do Steve!
I sent off some Barracuda Script to a company that shall remain nameless and I was well unhappy with what they sent back.
