Looks great, Gary! :-) Did you take 'em to a shop, or do them
yourself? BTW, as far as chrome goes, there is a powder called "almost
chrome" which is supposed to look pretty close to chrome. You need
to bake it to flow out then topcoat it with clear powder before doing
a full cure. I actually have some, but haven't tried it yet, so I can't
comment on how a finished piece looks.
