Mark_T,

No, they aren't available in chrome. They are sold unpainted, but primed. I do have some painted sets that I'm selling from when I developed the product. I can also facilitate having them painted so they will arrive to you ready to install if anyone is interested.

As far as having a chrome appearance applied, it is possible, but tough to do. There are a couple of options as far as I can tell. 1) Use a rattle-can to spray on chrome paint. I've never done this, but have seen it done and it doesn't look very good IMO. 2) There is a spray-on chrome process that consists of a base that's sprayed onto the item followed by the chrome-appearing layer and finally a clear coat. This process looks pretty good. But, from the research I've done thus far it is very expensive. So I don't see either option as good right now, unfortunately.

If anyone has any other ideas please let me know.

Thanks,

ddb
