First attempt Jaded

Sweet!

I've used both the Aircraft stripper as well as the regular type gel paint stripper that I apply with a brush. The Easy Off works great stripping the chrome off of plastic parts. You just have to let it sit for quite a while.
Looking forward to seeing your car finished.

By this comment I'll assume that prior to painting chrome it should be stripped as well? or can I just scuff the surface with scotch brite and paint?

The chrome parts are usually so small that I find it hard to get it all scuffed enough to make sure the paint sticks. I think it's easier to spray it and let it sit vs try to hold something small (like a bumper) and sand it. Probably will depend on how much time you have to work on it. I for one, really don't have a lot of patience, especially when it comes to painting. Once I start a custom I like to keep working on it until it's done.

plastic parts are molded, need mold release.... wash IT off before you paint...

More progress...just need to finish some small details.

That is super awesome! Well done!

oh yeh.... i can see a gasser III entry coming from this garage.
