I just bought a can of Instant Chrome spray paint (something like that at least) I was wondering if anyoine has tried it and what they thought, I painted my A-Arms because they were rusted and was wondering if the stuff would come of quick or what.

Why don't you shop around for an electroplating shop (real chrome). A friend got about 10-15 parts of his Quadzilla (foot pegs, kick start, A-arms, foot brake lever etc..) done for about $225.00. Looks great, far better than any paint could do.

that spray chrome looks cheesy and tacky (gotta love those words!) the only way to get a GOOD chrome look is to actually get it chrome plated

if no one does it around there you can always ship your parts to all the plateing shops here in california

I know of a couple shops in tx
One of my real good friends runs a shop in dallas also I know in ft worth.
If you want to send it off I can get it to you for pretty cheap. you must be carefull chrome plating causes hydrogen embrittlement making the metal weaker. It wont bend it will shatter.
