thanks for the compliment. I paid a guy to spectra chrome it . (actually I ended up using his equipment since he couldn't get it to lay down right on 2 pieces and agreed to let me try my hand at it.) I masked and painted all the rest of the stuff after a light clearcoat was put on the chrome to keep it bright and shiny. after 3 years it's a bit "tinted" but it went to a very light bluish hue instead of the yellow that everyone says clearcoat will do . I (a friends setup @549.00) used this to do some other stuff and it came out "okay" but now as good as the spectra chrome application. DIY Chrome Kit, Hydrochrome Spray on Paint | Future Chrome
here is a youtube of spray can chromes
yes I used spaz stix mirror chrome spray and it wasn't too bad at all. some of my other stuff has been sprayed in it and still look good after 2 years
I'm testing out a silvering solution that goes over plastic and then gets clear coated to preserve it. sort of like doing a mirror but in reverse ,silvers on the outside. I use automotive 2 part clearcoat so It helps withstand yellowing(or blueing) better

Your work is outstanding. So good, I copied your pics to show others. When I started on the Barracuda, I knew nothing. If not for the help I've received here, I never would have started. I was waiting until I had the money to pay someone to do it all or for some saint to come along and do it. Neither will ever happen. It's up to me which why am so thankful for your help.
