Sanded chrome trim (pics)
I sanded my chrome trim piece today. Im gonna have it painted at my work cuz my boss does body work. I was suprised how it looked after i wet sanded wit 400 grit sand paper. Should i paint or leave it like this? Kinda looks like stainless steel lol

i like it and it looks good, but i still say get it painted.

You need to sand all the chrome off for the paint to stick.

yo that looks kinda slick! I think painting would be best in the end, but its kinda cool like that! I cant decide...id prolly leave it for a while and see if it got ugly later...you know what i mean?
