A few years back Darrel Waltrip had his NASCAR ride either painted or wrapped in Chrome. I think it was when he was sponsored by Western Auto. Not sure wraps were even in existence than.

I tried putting lam on Oracal chrome first, then cutting the image out so I could try and stretch it around a compound curve. It was not even a solid image. It was a grill effect look for a 33 Willys fiberglass mud bogger truck. No luck. No amount of heat or swearing would let me do the job.

Hope someone comes up with the name of the manf. for this stuff.

I'm pretty sure Totally Dynamic use the 3M chrome. There are no special 'wrap' chromes. You just have to be a skilled fitter and do lots of joins.

you guys kill me. whether they have chrome wrap vinyl or not is irrelevant. This is just some random kid wanting to have his buddy wrap his car for him. He is not a sign shop and apparently knows nothing about chrome vinyl. If your gonna piss and moan about ebay cutters and customers doing their own chit why are you telling this guy were to find vinyl suppliers. He already said the professionals that actually do this type of work are to expensive. Whether he is in the us or not the professionals he doesnt want to pay for quality work are sign shop owners just like you and me. Anyway sorry for the rant. This site cracks me up.
