It's not too good to be true, if you like that sort of thing. My mate is an air brush artist and designer and he uses it when doing custom bike helmets. It costs him about £500 for 1/2 litre but only uses small amounts for highlight or special effect. He reckons the chrome effect is so good you could use it to touch up real chrome.
But using it on a whole car?





7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?

just one scratch or dent and the whole effect is ruined

Ever seen a seven with polished stainless steel side panels with a small dent in one ?

but each to their own I guess

bling bling to much is bad.
on the other link this is true for the above brand


Lighting requirements


94 Front fog lights may be used

* to demonstrate to other drivers that you are not driving the poverty spec version of your car
* if you think they look cool
* if you find using the fog light switch exciting
* if you can't be bothered to replace that dead headlight bulb
* if you've fitted green sidelight bulbs which other road users would not be able to see if you used your headlights.

Bling bling too much? Even Snoop Dog might find this a tad OTT; maybe suitable for the next Austin Powers mobil, viz:
One display monitor in the front; two in the back (pointing out), and two more IN THE BOOT?
What is the gadget in the boot; a built-in washing machine? a device for remote brain surgery?
And...., this takes the biscuit, a cell phone in the rim (see below).
P.S. I have just learned how to upload pictures, so, from now on, it is sound and vision for me, yeah baby, behave!

Brilliant...

The Chrome - nice! I particularly like the rusty disc brakes... kinda spoils the effect!!!

You can get chrome effect in aerosol from B&Q! I have played around with it at work, it is adequate for craftwork etc, not not very durable. If you clearcoat it, it turns to a dull gunmetal colour.





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Saw that Jag at the birmingham motor show. It's actually just polished ally - they were showing off the fact they make the body from ally. Nice and shiny though.
