spectra chrome

just wondering what you think about this. spray on chrome, idk. seems like it would be awsome and a great little money maker kit. anyone ever heard anything about it or even got anything done.

I'm sponsored by Alsa, the company that makes it. What do you want to know about it? If you're asking if it works? Yes, it does. If it's convincing as chrome? Depends on the painter who does it and how good the spray is. It's very thin paint that dries quickly and you spray a lot of layers on. Any imperfections in prep will show. I wouldn't recommend it for anything "daily", like wheels, valve covers, etc. It's pretty much for trailer queen show cars.

No... I have my body guy do all my paint. I don't really use the chrome... all my parts that appear "chromed" are polished.

the cheapest to redip it i found was $400, i dont want to pay that much, and that was just for the hood hinge and springs
