Re: crome

That is a process, not a paint. To get the equipment costs lots of money. Just use Alclad II.

Again... Alclad II Chrome is the best paint you can get but you must have an air-brush and im not sure its available in Norway. by the way im 75% Norwegian, my last name is Repaal. nobody ever spells it right in the US.

Rebell Hobby in Stockholm has Alclad and if you take a look at my Impala you will see how it actually looks on the bumpers.

Good luck!

Yepp !!!...........Alclad is probably your best bet, you'll need an airbrush though as it cant be brush painted.

What brand model ?

Alclad is Lacker Based. some Cheap Aztek (acrilyc airbrush) will simply melt and be good for the garbage if you use this paint.
