[TR] chrome paint

[Kinderlehrer]

I have tried a few chrome look powder coats. If you are looking for show quality chrome, they aren’t going to work for you.  It comes out looking more like polished aluminum or stainless steel.

Paint or powder coat?  I have used 'chrome' spray paint, OK but not the real  McCoy.  I have heard good things about a new powder coat material/process that looks very close.   Now looking for something to take to my local guy as a test before redoing my bumpers, chrome quotes from $500-800 each!

 

Would like to hear from someone that has already BTDT.

I keep hearing about chrome paint which looks great.  Given  the cost of rechroming, does anyone have experience with chrome paint, and if so, what brand?

Four TR3s plus a recent addition:  the TR3 which Randall (yes, THE Randall) bent when he was a youngster! Randall’s dad’s Old Blue !!
