Smile Chrome Paint!

I got my door handles back from the shop monday and they look great.I can not tell it is not plated.It is a spray on type chrome.The shop did a great job.I'll post pics soon.The price is a good deal.The more work he has to do to the part makes it go up.But my 48 grill will cost me $150.00 to have done.I don't think that is bad.

I've been checking into this as a possible purchase but I have found it is a very sensitive process to get applied correctly. Besides keeping everything super clean, the humidity and temperature play big roles in the success of the process. A paint booth is also necessary to have success. Can you give me the name of the shop that did it for you as I would like to talk to them and get some additional input. Thanks.
