[DeTomaso] NPC: Killer Chrome spray paint

[Garth Rodericks]

FWIW, Larry Finch (Group IV tail light "king") researched this stuff pretty well a couple of years ago and believes it's a smaller can than you normally associate with rattle can paint. He 
pointed out that if you read close enough, it also has a higher pressure AND a higher volume 
nozzle - so it dispenses much quicker. He doubts we could get more than 5 pairs done, if 
that, from the rattle cans of paint he uses when restoring the Group IV tail light housings.

Another alternative would be to use chrome tape. We should be able to achieve similar or better results. And, at only $1.99 per foot for the 1.5" chrome tape, it should be a LOT LESS expensive too:

Cheers!

Great idea.  Please share the results; perhaps the Space City gang will follow.
