|  Good chrome paint? Does anyone make a good chrome paint that comes in a spray can? I have an idea for a body that involves chrome, but I wanted to see if what I'd need even exists. |

| Are you painting lexan from the inside or regular plastic from the outside? If you are looking to paint a lexan body, then I'd highly recommend Spazstix Mirror Chrome. It produces AMAZING results. As for chrome for the outside of a body, I'm still looking for one. None of the paints that I've tried have a decent mirror finish. |

| Make sure that you wash the inside of the body really well to get rid of the mold release agent. Let it dry overnight and then start painting. With the Spazstix chrome, do several light coats until it's basically opaque when holding it up to the light. Make sure to back it with really light coats of backer paint (I prefer a couple of coats of silver, then black). Go slow and make sure that you leave plenty of time between coats to allow the paint to set up. |

Make sure that you do not touch the inside of the body after you wash it. I painted a body using Spazstix, and it looked awesome, except for that one fingerprint that will never wash off. | |

| Does Alclad sell spray cans? Their chrome looks pretty good. |
