I did the spokes on my RX8 s with chrome paint, and they come out good. You need a gloss black underneath to give it nice reflection. Using different colours gives different effects.

Not cheap for a Hydro chrome DIY kit, cheapest i can find is £155 16 sq ft

Was just thinking of small internal parts like air vents, and various surrounds inside the vehicle.

One for the print lovers.

Nice coat of Lacquer looks nice and stong

Different Skull design

Checks, you can choose different base coats to give different effects, like pink to give black pink

Carbon with the Lacquer on sweet.

The Flames with Lacquer love it.

I keep getting asked how strong it is,
with three coats of Lacquer it would be just as strong and the paint work on ya car.

Now this was just a idea I had and its turned out awesome, iv had some many responses on Facebook its unbeleivable .
But dont it look awesome
Water droplets on a white base coat

This will appeal to a lot on here,
Anthracite base coat before the dip

Full carbon weave with couple of coats of lacquer

Look at the detail in the weave. its so realistic

Justine's Juke needed a revamp. we removed her White wing mirror covers and we matched the interior bits in Metalic Magnetic Red base coat

Then we dipped in a see through full carbon weave.

The small dot is a reflection of the ceiling light not a blemish

Few coats of lacquer and its like glass

Back on the car looking sweet

That looks really smart. As a rough guide, what might it cost to have a pair of small mirror covers (mk4 Golf) done with carbon over a black base coat?
