Thought it would give a tougher finish Silver is silver and Chrome is..a booyakasha version of silver...innit Yes i have a problem drinking thru a straw..but you don't have to tell everybody about it!!!

k9huff Unregistered K	I tried high temp wrinkle paint as my heat shield had started to get a bit of surface rust. It looked ace for a week or so, now it looks quite scabby, I don't think the VHT wrinkle paint is up the the job! Might try some barbecue paint next, it certainly seems to last ok on the hot bits of the barbie (the metal cooking device, not the doll...).

It needs a proper sanding and cleaning for the paint to stick properly...or it'll flake in no time.
