I just gave 38 bucks each for two cans. I used it on my beer truck grill and it work outstanding. The wheels on this truck where also sprayed with Revell chrome and I handled them a lot getting tires on and no marks. -

It doesn’t, that what I like about it. The Molotow chrome will smudge when touched, that drives me nuts. -

Yes sir, the Revell over dark gray primer. Seems a darker based makes the chrome pop more. Getting very similar results as spraying over black but reducing on step to the finish by using dark gray primer and skipping the second layer of black. -

Got the chrome on the grill this morning, turned out pretty good. Was concerned because it will be a focal point of the build. -

That would tell a great story, having the old snow plow sitting next to the new snow plow. It will look ssssoooooo good. -

Bit of a crude mock-up, trying to come up with a custom smooth bumper. Need to see how much reshaping of the fenders is needed. -

Warning for the purists; I am reshaping the front fenders to get rid of the coffee table in front of the fenders, and building a custom bumper. Also getting rid of the bugeye headlights.
