My New FABO Reality Show...Rani, I'ma Callin' You Out!!!
Ok, take 2 on the "chrome" for me. Im almost embarassed to post pics after seeing Ranis progress/success.....maybe I shoulda stayed a wallflower at this dance!
Anyway, my inital chrome sucked, black turned out good, so I wet-sanded the chrome, taped off the black with help from my new little toy. Thanks to pointers from this thread and from my other dash resto thread, I tried a few little "tricks".
I put the "chrome" spray bomb in water that I boiled. I also took a blowdryer to the bezel before spraying to warm it up a bit. I sprayed a little closer to the bezel. My 1st attempt I was too far away and it was "powdery". After each coat I took the blowdryer to the paint, keeping about 8-10" away, I was trying to get the chrome to "flatten" out to be more reflective. Here are some before/after pics, I will wait a day to do the touchups. Rani I am thinking I should have sent you my bezel. Yours looks great!! Same goes for the frame!
