hhmm, i didn't know what glue to use. i did know that any material had to be burnished; guess i'm not complete dumb when it comes to figuring somethin out lol. i've heard of usin the chrome or gold paper from cigarette packages for this as well and i know of a guy who uses Reynolds Aluminum Foil for his bumpers and any area large enough to need chromed. i'm learnin somethin new all the time. thanks for tellin me about the glue, i'll give it a shot.
