Fog Benzels- Any way to get them chrome

Simply99 · 01-08-2008, 08:12 PM

Has anyone tried to chrome the fog benzels by paint or other way?

I saw the Saturn Vue and some of them theirs are like this and looks pretty good.

You could try and find someone that plastic chrome plates. I have seen plastic chrome plating on fiberglass bumpers used on race cars and it looks good from about 18" away but any closer and you can see that is plastic not steel. I hope this helps

Spend like $6 and get a can of chrome spray paint -- if you don't like it you're out $6 buck and can always paint black again. If you have to send them off somewhere I can't even guess what they would charge you.

Wondering if the spray paint will hold/stay and if it would say fade off where it would need to be redone over and over again.

Anyone use a chrome spray paint yet?

Haven't used it an exterior application but no reason it shouldn't hold up well if you do the prep work and use a good clear coat
