Who makes the best crome rattle can? I bought some for a air brush and was going to have GrudgE paint the crome for me but I don't want to bug him and it will just be easier for me to just do it myself. I would buy a airbrush but I am saving up some cash to buy a new mill 4 my savvy. Should have all the cash next week hahahahahah can't wait!!!!!:D
 
I believe spazstix is pretty good. A buddy of mine used it quite a few years ago and backed with white, it looked really good and held up for quite a while.
 
Spaz Stix Mirror Chrome is the shiznits. Light coats. 3 or 4 and let them dry in between. Then back it with water based (Faskolor, Createx or Pactra Acryl) black for a nice mirror shine...

Yep, spaz stix mirror chrome is awesome stuff! Looks like the real deal.
 
OOOhhhh Yeah, Spaz Stix. Follow Candyman's directions.

It's the REAL thing. It just can't get any better.

metal flake??? Do you see something that I am not? How did you get the grill to stay? Hot glue?? Its going to be a basher bod tho but if I do it up real nice I bet my friend will buy another to bash! So far its going to be spaztik color change and chrome just don't know how I am going to lay it out yet. I saw a escalade in this forum with the color change and I really liked it.

edit.... My eyes most be going bad I guess mom was right!!!! hahahah I see that flake your talking about and the grill is not painted that is clear as day!

It's ALL metalflake. Several coats of clear with blue flake, then backed with black. Someone here bought it.
The grill was put in place with Goop, but hot glue also works.

The windows are not black, but tinted dark. Rear deck is carbon fiber. I'm thinking of
doing another one in tan pearl. It's a great looking lid, especially since someone is
running the Escalade SUT on a monster truck, for real.

The advantage of the grill is great cooling, without taking a hole out of the windshield.

I just like doing it. since I have that chrome paint coming guess I can get that charger done that has been sitting here for 2 months:\:D:D So ill have 2 new paint jobs to show off soon!
