    Now that is snazzy!
    What a novel idea.
    I think I’d go crazy if I had to do that.
    Hat’s off to you!
    Love….Jill

    That looks great Ian, like Chris I was wondering what make of vinyl you used for that job? How did you find it as far as scratching with the squeegie while fitting into recesses ?
    Must be a bit sole destroying knowing it was all going to be stripped off afterwards !

    ian, what sort of price?

    The reason I ask is that I quite fancy my car done completely in chrome but I dont have the facilities!

    What facilities are you talking about, I myself have a car sitting their waiting to be put through the chroming process but its expensive as the paint is not like normal spray paint, this stuff needs to be sprayed with ionised water at the same time. We are suppliers for alsa products ie chrome paint etc if you are interested log onto http://www.alsacorp.com

    I dont want my car painted Chrome! I want it wrapped chrome for a show, and then a couple of weeks later removed to reveal my normal day to day car!

    Like everyone else has said, nice job Ian, I would like to know what sort of vinyl you used as well. Was this your idea or did they come to you and say can you do this?
