yeah MORE cowbell!!!!
unstoppable November 19th, 2004, 12:40 AM Yes, you can paint the chrome, but its kinda a crap shoot as to how long it stays looking perfect.
It all depends on the prep work thats done.You will need to lightly rough up the chrome with 320-400 grit sand paper and the use a product called adhesian promotor before its primed and painted.
Take your time and do it right and you will be happy.Rush it and you'll be pissed at yourself.

No one like s LEGEND LIME METALLIC!!!! WOW I thought it would look hot on this car w/tan interior...oh well,it does look good on the stang though! I am then leaning to Sonic Blue...or Mach 1.... :Bang dammit! I can't decide

To me it has nothing to do with the look of that color on a Mark.....I do not like it even on the Stang.....

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE I wish I could get close like that and have it look that good, the good news is the guys who painted the car have agreed to re do it after thanks giving what paint code did you use? I’m going to watch him like a hawk when he paint’s the car, do you still have the badges on there or did you take them off? :Beer
oh yha i still like #2
StraDog November 21st, 2004, 06:14 PM Thanks for the kind reply. Yea I removed all badges on the car, front bumper badge and the two trunk ones. When I had the trunk repainted, I had them fill the holes, also goes for the front bumper.
