Hi all, need to refinishethe above. Wanted to use that spray chrome in a can. I cant see it in the frosts catalogue so:

Does anyone know where to get it from? Has anyone tried it and were they happy with the result?

Are there any other products I can use to get as much reflection as possible?


Cheers

C

i have used little bits of self adhesive stainless steel tape before in small lamps. might not work for your app, as you'd need to overlap lots of small bits of it due to the curves. last forever though

i've used the stuff from frosts its not a chrome finish but better then the stuff from halfords but you cant touch,wash or put a clear coat on top as it takes the shine off.

best stuff i found is the stuff i use on my dayghters radio control car (its not mine honest) ignore the instructions (it goes inside a clear body ) if left to dry yhen a clear lacquer is used (again model paint) it is as near chrome as ive seen. not cheap but it works.
