Paint would not stick to chrome......and its really hard to sand all the chrome off......you're better off buying a Euro R piece.

Uh guys, chrome is not a solid piece of anything, nor is it a paint, its just a series of liquids that coats whatever parts you dip in it. Any materal can be chromed. All of our trim is just chromed plastic and it can be sanded off...

Maybe there are "chrome like" paints for plastics? Dunno about that...I could be wrong on this, but I saw how chroming was done on American Hotrod I think it was
