Chrome spray paint. Does it work on exhaust tips? Let's try a few different things. Let's try Chrome spray paint vs clear coat. Then let's try covering the Chrome paint with clear coat. First off we will de-rust using aluminum brightener.
I like the clear version but both look good. If you repaint them I think you might consider a light sanding with maybe 800 grit all over them to get the paint to adhere better, and possibly try a flat black high temp paint. Also, paint the insides. =)
I think if you buffed the Chrome spray paint buff like the Chrome buffers, do it not as is professional, but you should be able to make it shine just with a common buff job
Hey they make a paint from revell model paint chrome.. its expensive but im telling you its veryyyyy chrome like..... looks very good.. just like chrome you should try that
Clear looks better fur shur. 0000 steel wool first, may have given you a smooth shiny to start before the clearcoat. "Chrome won't get you home" Hahaha We used that cleaner when I worked in buses. It's very strong stuff.
