Chrome spray paints for plastic

[2ooosrx]

Has anyone tried a chrome spray paint for plastics? I was wondering because the last chrome spray paint I bought looked like a dull aluminum color. Does any body know of a good brand that has a nice shiny chrome finish to it? If so let me know because I am thinking of spraying my windshield chrome. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks, I didn't think there would be but I was just wondering if anybody had any luck with a brand. I really don't mind spending $40 on a new chrome windshield for my sled it is just that I don't like the look of the cobra one. It is to tall and it goes out to far on the sides IMO. I want to cut it down but I think it will stick to far out on the sides. I will figure something out. THanks for your help.

Yeah, thats the biggest reason I haven't bought one is that they stick up to far. I wish they were as low as the stock windy.

There is a Chrome spray paint and believe it's made by rustoleum. I know Lowe's has it, but the only problem is it will melt your plastic shields leaving an uneven looking finish. There is a plastic spray primer made by Valspar - American Tradition Plastic Primer, but cannot predict it's flexability or adhesion in extremely cold conditions.

Take a look at this site... I was looking for Chrome helmet info and this is one site I found with realistic chrome. I haven't tried it myself. It is very expensive!

That was a nice find but in less it is more then half of that price off, I would never consider it. Thanks for the find.

For The "REALLY" good looking chrome (Like the video), you have to spend $7000 for the equipment! It looks great however..

Kind of a related question but not, Im looking to buy grill inserts for my jeep, they have a set of chrome made out of plastic. I dont want chrome I want black, is there a paint I can use and paint over the chrome.
