Has anyone ever tried to use the Kyrlon Chrome looking speay paint on
the Demo Man handles? Mine are worn, thinking of a way to dress them
back up.

I used Krylon black gloss on my STTNG gun and coin door. Looks "brand"
spanking new now. The chrome color should be fine , just make sure you
practice the application. Don't over spray as to cause streaks. This
can happen easily because gravity is not your friend in this time of
job. Good luck

Charlie:

I have no idea as to how they would look, but if I were to spray paint
them with the Krylon, I would consider sealing them in some way with a
clearcoat to protect the paint.

Why not have the handles re-chromed? It's going to look a LOT nicer (and more
original) than "fake chrome in a can". Re-plating *will* be more expensive
than a can of spray paint, obviously, but there end results will definitely
look much better.

Joe is right!
Chrome paint looks tacky and marks up as soon as you touch it. If you
clearcoat it, it loses the chrome effect. I agree with Joe. Get them
chromed or contact Bay Area Amusements for new ones. You won't be happy
with paint.

If you don't have a plater near you that does chrome, you might
consider powder coating. You could even go with another prominent
color in the game for something different.

If you're looking for online mail-order plating, try the group
alt.collecting.jukeboxes for references on several platers.

Absolutely, chrome paint is only good for something that has absolutely no
contact, even when dry. Clearcoat turns it to grey. Rechroming is definitely
the way to go, same thing for wire ramps.
