letter 33089 Need chrome paint          ++++ I am looking for a paint that is chrome that I can use on plastic parts. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some. Thank you! Erin Stephenson homemaker - Lakewood, Washington ++++ I think you know this, Erin, but to prevent this posting from confusing others, let me start by saying that chrome is not a paint. Chrome is slang for chromium and it is a metal that is electroplated onto a surface. Those who wish to know more about chrome plating can see our Introduction to Chrome Plating. There are paints that range from spray cans in the $5 -$10 range, to paint systems that are a pretty good imitation of chrome but cost more like $150 for a small quantity and require training and skill in the application. Good luck.   Ted Mooney, P.E. finishing.com Inc. - Brick, NJ Dear Reader, please -- Answer or follow-up on this subject (in non-commercial fashion).   My company is a supporting advertiser at finishing.com and we want the contact information to reach the inquirer privately.   Post a new question or inquiry on a different subject.
