Aircooled VW South Africa

Be interesting to see how their quote compares with Didi's quote from Supreme?

can they chrome plastic to? I cant get chrome metal bumbers for my puma for the frotn anymore (luckly the rear I got), so the front ones are plastic.

got quoted 2k to chrome the plastic. i dont know how the quality will be but that is rather pricy. its fibergalss / plastic bumber after all.

so i went out and bought paint, one that gives plastic a metal feel and then teh chrome.

i am sure it wont be the same but i only spend 220 bucks on the pant vs 2k. SO i am going to give it a shot this weekend if ti comes out shit, i can always sand it down again.

has anyone ever chromed plastic? how were the result vs a spray can

These guys chrome plastic. I have seen their stuff at Cars in the Park and it looks great but I have not used them. I would do tho' if I had the need.

looks cool but they are basically doing what i am going to do this weekend. well i am going to give it a try first metal layer, then chrome then protective layer.

if it does not look great as i have no experiance I will sand it down again and contact them

thanks 4 the link webster

i chromed them today. they came out shit. it looks chrome but not like real metal chrome smooth and nice reflection. end result disappointing. it could also be my lack of skill with the can

anyway on monday i am going to phone the pretoria chrome guys, see how much they are going to charge. did u guys see the chromed beetle petrol tank, on their site?

looks pimp

Did you phone the pretoria chrome guys? What do they say?

i contacted them but they need detailed measurements before they can quote. so tomorrow i need to measure.

if they are to expensive then i have 2 options, go without or import metal bumpers from usa or brazil.

we shall c.

I did the sums on Karmann Ghia bumpers. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. To import repo chrome bumpers R8500.00

That is a lot of money. Rechrome seems to be the cheaper opstion although I don't have prices yet.
