The video is not the one I wanted to post, but scroll down to other videos and watch the helmet being painted. :sorry:

Spray on Chrome with the Gemini Chrome System is the name of the video.

Called a local shop that used to offer spray on chrome but has since discontinued due too many customer return/warranty type issues.  So not sure it that means the process isn't great/recommended for exterior applications.  Did find find engine turn hydrographics but was thinking using that in combo with leather to give the interior boomerang a
vintage/classic simulation.  :cool:

From what I can gather from talking to people, the spray on stuff doesn't hold up well outside but is great for interior stuff although I have no way to conform that as I haven't tried it myself.

It's a derivative of the silvering put on mirrors.  It's very fragile unless well protected with clearcoat. But then it only takes a little scratch for that clearcoat barrier to be compromised.

I know, I even called it that and spelled it correctly when I told Bobby to be patient.  But this time I was talking to GJ and figured he would think I was talking about billiards (that's pool GJ).

I mailed the card to the address on file. Thanks for expediting my recessed grills. I'm sorry everyone else has to wait for DDM Dave to read this thread.

SA, was thinking of posting some type of resurrected recessed grill to BB, but probably should wait until production gets closer to reality.

Too late.

I just posted your email on sky roadster and the BB saying you have 25 sets ready for delivery at $100 each shipped and painted.

Have fun!

PS- I may also have posted your phone number ;)

Dave,

That's fine. If you just change the file name to GXP I'm sure everything will fit fine.

Did you mention they will be shipped from my San Diego warehouse?  Because that is what I have been telling people and giving a certain forum members email and phone number to call if they have any shipping questions.

As long as his cell phone works we should be fine.

PS Critter email addresses don't change just because you move, I am not sure why Chuckdoc would have told you something like that.

They do if you switch Internet providers,  like going from Comcast to att. that's probably what he did.
