Chrome-like Paint?

[tiffuts]

Hey does anybody know if there is a place to get like professional quality chrome-like paint. I found some general purpose spray paint at home depot(http://www.homedepot.com/Metallics/...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053) but my painter buddy doesn't suggest it. So wondering if there is something better available. Thanks.

Tried all the over the counter ones, none work. They rub off, and if you clearcoat them, they turn gray.

Supposedly Alsa makes one, but you'd be looking at $40+ for it.

Alsa Corp's stuff looks really good on their website, but yeah to use one can of silver and one can of their clear that's designed to work with that paint runs you 80 bucks. I've never tried their products myself, though I plan to.

If it's good enough for butnut it's good enough for any of us dudes.

Word... I'd love to use that "Burning Ice" paint they have on my next project, or maybe something really wild like one of those bright greens.

If I used any of Alsa's kits it'd cost more than I paid for the guitar.

Have you used the chrome paint before? If so do you have pictures? Thanks.

I'd think House Of Kolor have something that works, if you have the kit to spray it.

No, I've shot just about most paints out there, but I did see and 'feel' some finished chrome painted stuff at their booth...smooth as a baby's butt and is the closest thing to chrome I've seen. The colored chrome was really kool too.
