So seeing as I'm going to be going to trax I want to mod my car as much as possible before then.
No one is making chrome engine parts for the j that I can find, so would this work?? 100ML PLASTI-KOTE CHROME SPRAY AEROSOL PAINT FAST DRY METAL WOOD METAL PLASTIC | eBay ![[Image: CameronUKAnimated.gif]](https://www.vxoc.org.uk/Images/cameron/CameronUKAnimated.gif)

I suspect it will look crap and not sure how the heat will make it react

Don't think you'll get a smooth finish as the plastics under the bonnet are slightly textured. As above you might have a problem with heat. I'd either wrap or hydro dip some parts

Hydro dip might be the best option but don't think you can get it in chrome finish

Honestly don't know but I'd have thought you'd need some form of plastic primer. Still not sure how it would hold up to the engine bay heat

Hydro dipping is the way forward mate it looks really good but a heat proof primer may be needed

Especially hydro dipping some lovely carbon fibre style goodies!
I'd love to do something similar when I have the chance.  ![[Image: Rusty-2_zpsuzrvgsp6.GIF]](https://www.vxoc.org.uk/Images/rusty/post%20images/Rusty-2_zpsuzrvgsp6.GIF) Astra-J 2.0 CDTI S/S
