A while back, there was a thread in one of the other forums on the various results many of us have gotten from using one of the spray-on 'chrome' products. The most common in the automotive restoration hobby is from Alsa Corporation. It's rather expensive at $50 a can (Over $100 for the "kit") and many have gotten questionable results. I personally was satisfied with my results using it but think it's pretty expensive...especially when you see that others have been dissatisfied with the results.

However, in the midst of that thread, a couple of other products, aimed mainly at the plastic modeling and R/C car modeling crowd, came to my attention. A product called Alclad was one and the other was a product called 'Spaz Stix'.
They are much cheaper and appeared to be practically the same product as the Alsa Corporation product.
Since that thread, I had an issue with the Woodgrain applique that I used in the restoration of my '68 GTO instrument panel. PY replaced the product and I thought that this would be the perfect time to use a better core that I had in my parts stash.
Also, it would be the perfect time to try one of these cheaper products. I chose to use Spaz Stix in the 2 ounce bottle. I also used a Paasch compressor and airbrush that I had from my old R/C aircraft modeling days. The product is available in a aerosol can for about $1 more but I liked the idea of having it a bottle and spraying it myself.
I am pleased with the outcome and am posting some pics that I took during the process.
The Spaz Stix is available for about $8 a bottle or $9 for an aerosol can. I bought two 2oz bottles and barely used a quarter of one of the bottles.
