Anybody have any first hand experience of this stuff, had it done or seen something done in it?
Looking at maybe setting up doing it and your thoughts would be of interest.
Cheers.

Spray on chrome isn't it?

Is it durable or heat-resistant?

Sort of yeah it's a paint base and then some chemicals and more water then a laquer .

Seems to be quite durable but marketing people could just make it look that way.
Heat resistant I'm very doubtful.
I'm going to visit the distributors for some demo's and find out more about it before I spend my hard earned but initially I'm quite impressed .
I'll chuck a video up when I get to a PC.

judging by videos i have seen and on some programmes it seems straightforward but if it goes wrong you have to remove it all and start again

Like most things then really. Do it right and do it once.
This distributor is in @4thgenphil land so maybe I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone merc. You coming ? I'll pick you up on the way. We did say we were going to visit him and have a beer or three last year.
