How To : Chrome Parts

So, your car needs a little bit of bling? Well here is how to do it the non expensive way ;)

1. Select around the part you want to chrome (I decided to be different by doing a chrome hood ;) )

Copy and paste it into a new layer.

2. Desaturate that layer, and duplicate it (Ctrl + J)

3. Select the hood (Hold control and click on the hood layer in the layers box)
and fill that with white.

Change the top layer (White) blending mode to overlay.

4. Amazing results. (Not too good on this one, but works well on parts with lots of reflections).
