Question

Chroming my Jem?


So, I recently got a Jem body and a Jem neck (bought it from evil bay, and thank god everything fit nicely). And now I'm at the painting process. I kinda want to chrome my guitar somehow. I forgot the site, but I remember seeing this guy offer to put in a mirror over guitar bodies, but it's not something I wanna go for, and it's a bit too expensive for me. So, that leaves me very open minded.

I was thinking Chrome spray paint, but I dunno what the results are gonna look like. Any suggestions or ideas you guys have?

I'm looking for a cheap alternative. If I get someone to do it, I know it'll run me quite a bit of money, and I'd rather do it on my own.

You could get a couple of cans and just do a few samples on some blank pieces of wood... :-) Good luck!

If you want it to look good get a professional and pay for it. If there was a good cheap way to do it, there'd be a lot more out there.
