    Spray on chrome - way of the future?

    Check this out!! As stated in the video, the harsh chemicals involved in chrome plating, are becoming harder to pass environmental regulations. So it may be the way of the future.

    Looks good but still has that 'plastic' look to it. Would be great for interior dash parts though!!

    Whats your thoughts?

    I use the VHT chrome paint on small things that don't have to compete side by side with real chrome and it looks pretty good and lasts well.

    I actually used it on my WB front bumper as a temporary fix and it makes a reasonable transition to real chrome if you blend it carefully.

    Looks good, I wonder what its corosion proofing qualities are like. Chrome plating can be very polluting, no question bout that, but it is pretty good at protecting steel! Looks like the process involves silver somehow, I wonder if it dulls. Wouldnt it be cool if it is just as good at corrosion protection as chrome!

    I found these links pretty easy;

    [/URL="http://chromesolutions.de/"] Seems like its propbably the German manufacturer mentioned, but theres a British mob too, looks like the same product, and they've got a price list.

    I can see some pretty creative uses for this, - imagine it on a trailer, or even the letter box.... I wonder if it sticks to concrete... LOl Lol !

    My garbo wouldn't empty it because it's the wrong colour!

    In my area we have a red lid on the garbage (collected weekly), a yellow lid on recycling ( every 2nd week) and a bright green lid on green waste (alternate week to recycling).

    We used to have dark green lids on our green waste bins and the goose that picks up the green waste now won't pick up a bin with a dark green lid, even if it's obvious that it's full of green waste.

    So Chrome would send him into orbit dave! (maybe chrome with a bright green lid would be OK......)
