    sure you will work it out Calais, doesn't look too bad, may take a couple of goes to get it right. Does the chrome paint manufacturer recommend any certain weather conditions ?

    Looking good man, keep trying, it'll be a killer axe WHEN you nail it, not if. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but with a chrome coat, isn't it the way to go that you spray the whole piece in one hit so you don't have to blend later?

    Bo its not a paint but actual silver between two clear coats.thats why it makes it difficult.its not like just going over the top with another coat.you really only get one shot.I think i can repair it.will see how I go.Its more the cost of the materials thats the issue.but i will get there!!!
