|  cheap easy way to "spray" bottled paint?
ive got a couple of lexan headlights buckets for drifters i want to paint chrome. unforuntaly the chrome is only available in a bottle for airbrushing. is there any cheap little inexpensive way to spray this for such small parts? i dont really want to hand brush it, as the chrome will show brush stokes like crazy. ideas? |

if you are spraying it on the inside of the lexan you have to have the crome clear or a waterbased paint to help it stay crome, if it gets other paint or water on it, it will turn silver. if you are spraying it onto the buckets them selves you need to put a coat of black first then do multiple coats of chrome useing a hairdryer for the heat to make the chrome pop better inbetween each coat. the mirror chrome clear just helps protect the chrome. use the codes in my signature below to save you some money. |

if im painting it on the inside, could i spray the chrome, then instead of buying the clear, simply brush on some acrylic paint for backer? (water based) (i would probly be using flat black)

That will work, put about 6 coats of chrome. do a test peice of the black on chrome first before you apply it so it will work fine, i no createx and parma works fine.
