Chrome Paint
A friend has asked me if we have any recommendations for chrome paint, it is actually for radiator pipes but I guess people may have used it for car stuff. The only thing I could find on the forum was a chrome paint kit which was a bit pricy.

Re: Chrome Paint
For radiator pipes, I’ve found the best solution to be chrome effect “wraps” or “sleeves” which are available at B&Q etc.

Re: Chrome Paint
I bought some like this and the actual colour spray does give good shining finish but it is not robust enough and needs a clear coat ,but when this is applied it then goes like normal silver paint. If the parts are suitable chrome car wrap will give the best results

Re: Chrome Paint
You can buy both 15mm and 22mm chrome plated over copper pipe Zac, it's not that expensive either

Re: Chrome Paint
The diy chrome plastic pipe wraps work really well on radiator pipes, I have used both white and chrome over the years. They get a bit tired after 4 to 5 years but replacing them is dirt cheap and easy. (try Screwfix)
