I do like it, though it looks like there's some sort of texture in the vinyl?

Yeahhhh the vinyl isnt a perfect mirror, its hard to explain. Its like a bumpy mirror kinda, I mean its smooth but the reflection is bumpy looking. But it still looks good and when I'm done and get to see it together I'll decide if anything needs to be done about that.

UPDATE

Well yesterday I got everything painted satin black and wrapped the rest in chrome vinyl. The vinyl wrap turned out to be significantly harder then I expected and so i'm not too happy with the results for the top and front piece. Pics below.

But if you overlook the imperfect execution of the wrap, I think the chrome and satin black looks really awesome. SO now i'm looking into chrome paint, but a quality chrome paint is much harder to find then you might expect. I found a brand called Spaz Stix that i'm looking into.

On the bright side the painting came out great and I do like the way the chrome looks, I just have to find a better way of getting it chromed.














Suggestions welcome, at this point i'm a bit frustrated

That's going to turn out really nice...

Here's a good tutorial I found. It looks time consuming, but it's straight forward, higher quality, and more durable than vinyl would be. This also gives you the option of a colored-chrome look, but you're probably better off sticking with black and/or dark grey paint for this.

Well, it takes 15-20 min every other/every 3 days for a month. It's not a terrible time comittment, but you don't have a decent finished product for a month... But damn, is it good. I've also wanted to do a "chrome" build, and this is how I plan on doing it, mostly because it lets you do things like "colored chrome", black chrome, blue chrome... some pretty neat stuff.
