Do it yourself chrome

[Spacetop]

Any of you guys tried a chrome spray yourself on any of the plastic H3 parts like that hood grill? cons, pros? I'm not experienced in those kinds of things just wondering whether to experiment or not... how does plastic hold the chrome paint?

[Sewie]

Cons = will look like sh*t

Pros = can't think of any http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

All right all right, I give up http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif... was just a hypothetical idea... cuz i see all the parts that are plastic just coated with chrome paint on all these H3 part sites... thought why not do it myself with all the home depot stuff and save bunch on it http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif..

[Spacetop]

Don't forget the trowel/hood handles.

[Spacetop]

Still don't understand what the hood handles are all about... are you ever going to have someone riding on your hood? Like circus midgets??

[deicustoms1]

Give it some time, that's a regular activity for most of us.

The lame fake hood vent on the H3 looks more like a hibatchi grill especially with the hood handles. Maybe an electric grilling option should be availabe for tailgating/picnics.

If you are going to use a spray on anything you may get better results from spray on mud.

Great http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif I always prefer functional things. In this case it can be a function hood vent or an electric grill.

Don't paint the stock softer plastic pieces. They'll bend and cause cracking. Not to mention the paint really won't adhere properly and start to peal. Originally posted by aggiehummer...er:
