P_Star Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 poor because I have approximately 8 million projects going and none of them have paid off yet. one day, one of them will then i will have some cash. till than, I paint my own cars haha. Might pass on painting my chrome trim, seems just a little bit evil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Normally I wouldn't recomend it, infact, I 9 times out of 10 absolutely despise blacked chrome.. but for this project, I think it would suit. Even if it's just around the window frames and the c-pillar vent etc, leaving the bumpers and grille chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 yuh concur, could look quite cool. c-pillar vents wouldn't be able to pull this, but, try chucking some signwriting sticker on it, satin/mattblack stuff to 'shadowline' it as the bmw fools do. works a treat I'm told. plus if it looks ham, peel it off stz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoozin Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Don't listen to Sparkle. Olive drab WILL look the shiz, and be tough/dirty/staunch/rancid all at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cute wee gem Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 How did you get on with mixing the thinners?, lets see some pics of the outcome anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Star Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 yellow, the bits that worked looked pretty mean actually. um... don't think i took any pics will see if the olds sneakily took some. I was too busy swearing at the stupid thing. think the paint was a bit past it. then I repainted and had a reaction between the 2 paints. put only in some spots so spent most of last night scraping gunge (aka black and yellow paint mush) off the thing. sanding again tonight and maybe paint..... again. will snap shots of the aftermath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avenger79 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 was it clean before you painted it??,ie: you didnt touch the car. it sounds like its had a silicon reaction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Star Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Ya was clean as a whistle, no grease or silicon or anything, I think the 10 year old paint was a bit rooted. oh well done now... not the best job bul looks ok if you squint/ look from not too close haha. good enough for the girls we go with anyway. pics soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
