Spray on Chrome?

Has anyone had this done in or near GTA? I have wheels that I need done, just the lip actually. Anyone know how much it may cost?

I'm pretty sure your wheel lips aren't chrome. Most likely they're high-polished aluminum lips. There are tons of wheel repair shops in the GTA that can refinish them for you. You're looking at about $100 per wheel on average.

You can also DIY it, not very hard. Check this out:

I may go for that route to refinish them as it may be cheaper to rechrome. Spray on chrome may even be a cheaper alternative to both though which is why I wanted to explore it.

The wheels are XXR 526.

Thank you for the link though, i may just DIY following the link.

So in my case, i would sand all the chrome off and sand down the curb rash and buff/polish that to shine?
