  1. I'm not especially fond of chrome. My excuse has always been that chrome weighs more than paint and I'm a go fast junky.

    But the out'n'out truth is that I don't like to take the time with the chromer or spend the money.

    Chrome accents are very cool even on a Rod. All chromed out is an entirely different story, but a little splash here and there is cool.

    Sounds ok, as long as it's straight enough to have rechromed :D

    Chrome is like wrapping a hot chick in tin foil...it's got a certain charm,
    But I'm all for appreciating the natural texture and beauty!

    ;) :D :cool:

  8. Chrome is hard stuff and protects the underlying metal. The layer of chrome plating on an object is extremely thin. Chrome is a very stable finish. Copper plating prepares the substrate to recieve the chrome by filling low spots and imperfections.
     
  9. Who cares? It's all personal preference anyway. Hmmm ... I think some rattle can red wheels would be the perfect accent to the flat black bumpers on this car!:)
