I fancy spraying my foglight surrounds chrome, anyone done any resparying in chrome themselves?

What do you recon (have chrome surround on grill with silver mesh)

Car is silver, mk2 zetec

chrome spray paint is extremley hard to get right and never looks "Perfect" personally id just repaint them silver as I think in all honesty it could look a little tacky

They are silver now so thats ok, thanks for your views,

I knew it would be hard to do tho!

Do you know of anyone who has done it!

iirc guardtower sprayed a part of his dash with his chrome paint, there was a picture not that long ago.

If you do decide to do it, make sure we get a pic, could look brilliant

Its quite hard to do........

Just bought a spare set - can you talk me through the best way to do i GT please?

I am thinking, rub down with least abrisive wet n dry i can find

Prime (grey plastic primer)

Chrome spray - loads of thin coats

Clear laquer - loads of thin coats

May drop the laquer tho,

What do you think?

Keep the lacquer mate i think thats where i went wrong, i had a go at doing the mk2 mondeo badge in chrome but went completely wrong as i spilt me curry on it when it was wet, but would have looked great if i had have lacquered it (n obviously not spilt korma on it) :L

Good luck!!
