I am sure you can do it yourself with patience and a can of chrome spray from your local hardware store. I did mine with a charcoal metallic finish. Its not as shiny as chrome, so it hides imperfections much better. The key part is sanding everything perfect, i reccomend using sandable primer, as it fills in imperfections better. good luck. I say try to do it yourself, that way you aren't paying a pro to do it. If yours looks bad, all it would have cost you is $8 on two cans of spray paint, and some hours of working.
Or you can get real ghetto and use that chrome tape crap that pep boys sells...
Tried it, Don't do it. The chrome paint looks like SILVER. I sanded and used primer and re-sanded. They were smooth

I was going to say the same thing.
just wait til its sunny out and the sun hits off that center vent.
I don't think it's possible with those "chrome" spray paints. Has anyone ever done anything with them that looks like metal when it's done? I thought they just come out looking like metallic gray paint.
There are companies out there that chrome anything though and if Josh has access to one, that might be the way to go.

Not to mention you shouldn't use that chrome spray stuff on anything you might touch or anywhere that might rub... It rubs off and leaves a metallic silver coloring on anything it touches. Looks very cheap and not even worth the $3.00 you spend on the can.
