Hi, my name is Jim and I have this mattel 1957 Barbie Chevy and I'm customizing it with a complete make over. The chrome is badly scarred and I was about to buy another online off ebay to get chrome parts. When I saw yours and read that the chrome trim parts were actually silver paint, I couldn't believe it. I have tried krylon silver and found it to dull for chrome makover. I may just be missing something simple like proper primer or something. What brand of silver are you using? I plan on maybe using 1/8 scale ford deuce undercarriage parts . I build one of a kind Barbie items and am in process of making a scale frontal home view in my hobbie room. This will showcase real to detail picket fences in 11" doll scale. I have put together a Big T ford and a Big Deuce 32 ford so far uo use with removable wheels so Barbie & ken can be shown changing oil in the driveway with car up on jackstands and such, with fence and lawn furniture showcased. Just something to do for an old retired guy and my 10 yr old granddaughter.Hope I got this in the right place. Thanks.
