KC the chrome paint is made by Alclad Laquer II thats the best there is, the only thing with painting it on a body though is if there is even one scratch it shows up, even the ones from the factory will show up on a lexan body

Just buy chrome wheels. That's probably the cheapest way.

[Mykroe]

it probly is, if you were to paint your wheels they would get chipped easily

i would have done that a long time ago but they arent made in chrome.

[xxtcrgp]

uh, yeah they are:confused:

[HO502cid]

Well what wheels are they?

[kc2000000]

the wheels are for a tamiya mini cooper.

I see... I think you will ruin them with chrome paint. You would need to clear coat them for it to work properly and primer the wheel in black. Not worth the time... believe me.

i wont even try that. lol they look good enough now. but thanks.

[HO502cid]

Yeah, good luck.

And these rims are for a mini right? you're not rying to fit them on a micro?

[kc2000000]

they are for a tamiya mini cooper which is 10th scale but is smaller than the average car. i put them on my 18th scale escalade. i know, it doesnt have much to do with rc except for the rims but this is the only highly active board that could help me.
