| Not that, I did try a chrome spray paint from a can that looked good but it doesn't have a mirror like look of chrome though unless it works by using clear over it. _________________  |

| Crisy, It is worth a try, have you already bought it and is it very expensive? Sometimes when you put on clear and not enough it is dull. I had a guy that painted my 55 Dodge He done a great job painting it and he jujst could not get it to gloss with clear. Well I picked it up and one of my friends that painted horse trailers for a living went and sanded it a little bit and then pored some clear on it and it started to shine like a diomond. I had that car for about 20 years and everybody was shocked when I sold it. My Mom when I told her on the phone she was in tears Bless her heart, she said I love that ol car. _________________ SIR ROBERT THE WISE 1ST KNIGHT OF THE C.C.C.   |

| Several years ago, I bought a set of the interior garnish moldings that were supposedly rechromed off of e-bay, for nearly $400. I noticed the finish had a minor texture like orange peel, similar to a painted object, but they really looked like chrome, so I figured I'd give them a shot instead of returning them.
They held up good for a year, but then started to discolor and eventually turned purple. I have since replaced them with rechromed ones from my friend that does plating work.
Maybe these type of paints have improved since then, Chrissy, but the materials involved are a bit of an investment, so I would do a bit of research into it.

| Now were they the ones on your Fury John. I really lucked out when I kept the ones off from the 58 Fury rust bucket i bought. The car was a rust bucket but they had enough sence to keep all the moldings , hub caps grilles and tail lights and everything like that inside. They were all nice and chrisp and new looking. I sold the Front Wings for a lot smaller ammount then they go for now and had the rear re=chromed and pujt on Red-Sled. Im not sure what it would cost to have all the inside moldings chromed now. _________________ SIR ROBERT THE WISE 1ST KNIGHT OF THE C.C.C.   |

| Yes, they were the ones on my Fury. I had Chrome Guy redo a set I sent him and they came out nice!
I sell him core bumpers several times a year, and he'll do different plating jobs for me.

John I already bought it. If it would work for all the door trim it would save me some cash in the long run. Every thing gets a high gloss black...light dusting of chrome.......wait a few days and seal it. It said after that you can add automotive clear if you like. Man I would hate for it to all turn purple a year down the road. Sounds like your parts may have tarnished? Guess I will search for feed back on the product. To cold to try it right now. Thanks for the in put.

| I'm hoping these products have improved since the time I had bought those pieces. Probably was a different chemical make up that what you have too.
Eastwood is a good company, I have dealt with them for years, mainly for leadworking tools. I did buy a curve file once that the handle broke after a few months use, and they exchanged it, no questions asked!
