    Niteshades on chrome

    I was wondering if I could give my chrome that black chrome look by using that niteshade tint spray on it. Do you guys think it would work. I think it would be cool to have black chrome on the towny and run black chrome mustang bullitt rims on her.

      You know I have thought about that myself. All I have used that stuff on is my taillights. It should work but the question is will it adhere.

        got a metal front bumper? spray some on and see if it flakes off.

        or maybe just do your hood emblem?

          I kinda doubt would adhere. You'd probably have to sand it, and then it kinda defeats the purpose. Just my $0.02...give it a try, nothin to lose, right?

            could always scuff it with a scotchbrite...

              Actually when you sand chrome with a fine grit sandpaper it looks like brushed aluminum. I did that on my dads grille on his merc before I painted it black and it looked sweet.

                I would be concerned about it not adhereing to the chrome. Is there a clear, self-etching primer that could first be applied and then followed up with Nite Shades?

                  I think I'll buy some and try it on my Vic. It could use some more black-ness.

                  How much is this stuff?

                    There you go boxman, they are $12.95 a can. If you have a decent hobby store buy you, you can get basically the same stuff for $4 a can. That is what I did.

                        I'm at work right now so I can't see what it says on the can. But I just asked a guy that worked there if they had spray tint. Granted you don't get as much as the Nightshades but you really don't need that much.
