I'm with SRQ.....I'll stick with the "chrome-silver" paint out of the bottle; it may not look quite as nice but I can handle it. If you ask me, your photo is an extreme close up I'd be willing to bet it looks fantastic from a normal, mortal, human, viewing perspective!

I am a "Sharpie" silver marker guy myself!!

Have no allusions what might occur if even attempted to foil route!!!

I 'am with the others, when the car is going around the track, the flaws that drive us crazy when we are two inched from the car motionless, all go away!!!

I'm a silver paint guy too. I've tried the foil before and after several hours of work I realized I was just as satisfied with the silver paint as I was the foil. I know there are some master craftsman around here with the foil, but I'm not one of them.

Yup. Foil and I don't get along currently. Not sure that it's worth the effort of making friends with it or not.

The gull wing on the other hand is well worth friendship. Really nice work Dave.

Reason for edit: Auto correct turned it into gobbledygook. Surprised?
