Fantastic Joe, I'll send it to you in the next couple of days and PM you the tracking#. I'm looking forward to this. -Mike

No, I don't understand what that referred to, it was what the website instructed, and there was no mention of what applications it did or did not apply to. That's why I wanted to know what it looks like on detailed model car parts. You see, on this and any other model car board or group, the members are going to be most concerned about how this product works on grilles and wheel covers, not speed shapes and cartoon model planes - which have scarcely any more surface detail than speed shapes. And as for Pete's pic, it truly does say it all, it looks barely any better to me than Testors Chrome spray paint. It doesn't look like kit chrome at all. So before I lay out the cabbage, I want to see what it looks like on a model car grille. Tell you what Joe, I'll be happy to send you a fresh resin Maverick bumper/grille for you to finish with this product and send back. In addition to supplying return postage, I'll pay you $10 for the service, and then I'll post pics here to show what it looks like on the car and compared to vacuum metalized grilles. Why? Because I want to try it before I buy it. And if it works as you say, I will buy it.

I paid $9.99 for the Ford hubcaps, $15.36 with shipping, so it doesn't look like it's going to change much.

On their site, they say that 5-6 coats of various materials are required for this system to work. That's kinda red-flaggish on a model car part with lots of fine detailing. The examples shown are large smooth pieces, but we really need to see what this looks like on a front bumper/grille or other elaborate parts before this can be the official chrome replacement product. Vacuum metalizing is very chrome-like and very thin, and there lies its advantage.

Got mine today, they look great... or will when chromed. As soon as I can figure out who to send them to for chrome.

If it's as bad as reported, maybe it does.

Superior job right here. I love these creative heavy duty truck builds based on pickup kits.

Got my order a couple of days ago, and they are just as nice as you'd expect. These are the #435 big and little rat rod tires, steel wheels and hubcaps from the parts box.

I just placed an order with Modelhaus Tires, and the order was #00118. 118 orders so far? Is that right? These tires are very nice, and it seems there should be more interest. I hope this spinoff business takes off and is so successful, he decides that maybe adding resin parts might not be a bad idea. That would be nice.

Very nice to see these, I'll be after a couple sets myself.

Nicest build of the '67 Galaxie ever.

And I think I've done something when I customize a Hotwheels...

Huge improvement on the headlights, and a nice solution too.

I haven't done it, but I'm sure I could figure out how if the grille was in front of me. The more you look at that gap, the more you realize it doesn't belong there.

I would move the inner headlights about 1mm closer to the outer lights, I always thought that the gap between them was too wide on this kit.

Those carbon rotors look real.

Walmart parking lot about 2 months ago: Same lot yesterday:

Matt, you can PM me for this kit.

Hey, you want to sound nice, or you want to win?

That's a contender for the Save of The Year trophy.

Great build, and I love that color.

I'd say it's gorgeous, but it's really well beyond that. Amazing work.

I have a set. See if you can get permission from the seller to recast. If so, problem solved.

That Hebmüller version is fantastic, I love the side cove separating the two tone colors.
