How to paint a bike chrome?
 

Hey guys I am planning on painting my bike and i was wondering if i could strip the paint and clear coat it. But this probly wont work so how would I do it and what would i use?http://images02.olx.com/ui/1/36/94/12613294_1.jpg

chroming a metal is a chemical process. you dip the metal in a chemical bath and electrically charge it will attract the chrome plating. it's plating, just like any other kind of electroplating process. watch how it's made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ6j6YjJrHY

you can't paint it true chrome, and all the "chrome" paints always run and look really awful.

take it to a powdercoating shop and ask them if they do chrome finishes or if they know anyone who does. it's expensive but not prohibitively so.

Y&C, please stop. i'm smelling troll.

what do you mean troll?

..... im curious see my name....

nice try.

check out this guy's post history. decide for yourself.

Ok first off i didn't now what troll was sorry and second i probaly could have google some of those but id rather get an anserew from some one who's tried it.

mine. i started out with a chrome frame.. but just saying, chrome isnt that pretty. stands out too much,
