Yeah i know what you mean, when i seen the before and after pictures on my PC i thought to myself that some people might like the before pictures more than the after haha. But if you seen it in person its a bit of a different story.
The Steps were removal, then sand the clear-coat off all the parts atleast till i hit the old paint, then I sprayed it with primer, then 20 minutes later i sprayed the Metal-Cast Chrome paint and it looked great the first 2 minutes while it dried then it started to look like crap. Even after drying over nite the paint would still rub off onto my hands. I let it set over nite and on sunday i sanded that crap off and sprayed it with Dupli-color Aluminum Chrome which came out way better.
Let that set for 4 hours and then reinstalled it... I wish i took more time to sand it with the finer sand paper i had but i was being rushed by the dropping temps outside.
