One of my resto's needs a LOT of chrome doing.. way more than its total worth..

So, was thinking of powder coating them chrome.. anyone seen this done and does it look OK??

I tried some chrome power coat a while ago, and deff looked plasticy, good finish but not the same as chrome

also tried a mix of leftover coating powder, black with chrome speckles was interesting.

Never the same as chrome. Looks good from far away is the effect you get I use charnwood for all my powdercoat .
