Chrome wrap..Good for some thing i`m shure.

Been watching this video and it reminds me of me in the old days working in an exotic car shop, we too weren't really white glove professionals but we did excellent work and had fun with the Ferrari`s,Lotus,porches ect that we restored. Now days it is different.
On to point, this chrome wrap seems handy for restoration of parts that would otherwise need re chromed. It has it`s limitations as far as stretching but on smooth corners seems to do well. Keep in mind it has a translucent film covering the finish that you remove(peel) after the creases and bubbles are removed.
I plan on tryinging it on a few parts to see if it holds up, made by 3M mostly but there may be others that sell a Chinese copy that I may not trust to hold up and be flexible.
Just interesting is all.

Just might have to try some of that, if it's not crazy expensive...

You know thats just it..On ebay it is cheap in small inches..I have been looking at feedback on different sellers, you just type in chrome wrap or film in the auto section and you will get more then a thousand hits, then hit US sellers only because anything out of China will be junk, possibly US too but look at the feedback and description to make a judgment. Wont be long till I get a 12X18 sheet or something just to try on my lower air dam and the rest to fool around with..It is definetely cheaper then chrome. I have a link on another browser I`ll add to this.

We've had that stuff here for years.....it's called Aluminuminum Foil..... :smilie_happy: :mrgreen: :smilie_happy:

I wonder if this stuff wills scratch very easily, like foil?

Looks like a good stuff, though too much chromes can make it look cheap.
