Looking to do some basic detailing with some chrome spray paint.

Nothing ott just little bits on the mondeo.

Anyone know which can to use?

Is it even possible to create the same effect?

One thing I'm looking to spray is the front grille surround

Don't bother. I have tried chrome spray and it isn't really chrome, just very shiny silver. No way to get 'proper' chrome without actually chrome plating.

you can spary paint chrome. However, it is a fine art that involves using different coats of chemicals that react with each other then harden to create a chrome coating.
im pretty sure chrome in rattle can would be shite.

would look very tacky in my opinion mate especially on a grill

best to get it powdercoating as you can get "Chrome powder" now which is quite good but not as good as real chrome obviously but its still good
Im having my Lambretta Engine casings done in the stuff

i know mclaren on the F1 cars put down a black basecoat, then lacquer then without flatting it down again use a chrome paint dusted on in layers then lacquered again, but as said chrome paint never comes out 100% chrome as it were!!

I know we have tried shit loads of diffrent chromes to use on SLRs and they have come out completely different to each other!!
