whats the trick to getting chrome/aluminum paint to dry? Ive tried both and they never seem to dry and I cant clear coat it without it getting all cloudy. Trying this on the dash vents.

Well, I tried a different method. I found some chrome tape at Advaced Auto under the name "Chrome Brite" manufactured by TrimBrite. A little careful work with the exacto and I have what looks like chrome again. It looks a lot better than the paint, I only hope it stays on. I think I may try and clear coat it to seal it on...

How bendable is the chrome tape? I need to re-do the chrome trim on my door panels. It's a large oval shape with tight bends. Will it work?

its not real flexible. the box say "semi-rigid material will not conform around compound curves".
all mine is on a flat surface, but its 3" wide and 60 inches long and for 10 bucks its worth a try! |

3" wide? Geez, that's not gonna be flexible at all. I've seen this stuff for sale in 1/8" and 3/32" widths. Maybe Eastwood...

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
