    Watching Speed last night I caught the tailend of Pimp My Ride, they were finishing off a Honda in a Silver Surfer theme, thing is the whole car looked chrome!! looks pretty good and it's a paint, could this be good for bumpers? so I was wondering if anyone had any first hand dealings with it, have you seen anything painted in person with it? have you used it? here is the website on the paint.................

    And the Honda painted with it..........................

    Yep it does, been on the website looking around, some of it looks pretty decent on stuff, I was just thinking it might work on my bumpers and boomerangs, and is something I could do at home, and still come out cheaper than having them rechromed and I could add color if I wanted too, very interested in it but gotta research it more, I see now they have it in rattle cans also, kit form so ya get all ya need to do smaller projects!

    Sure looks better than what I'm used to as far as " chrome paint "! Most of my experience has been with pitifully poor excuses for chrome! This product actually looks like chrome!!! (y)

    OUCH! that's almost as much as rechroming 2 bumpers for the quart kit!

    I know to get both my bumpers rechromed along with two boomerangs is $850.00, do you think one spray can would work for 1 bumper? they have it in the rattle cans in kit form for just over $100.00 a kit.
