Chrome Tank Flames?
I have a two part question, Has anyone ever had chrome flames put on their tank? or is it even possible? Secondly is there a company that can do the finish like the dark customs where you see the brushed metal and paint together? I would like to have flames on my tank and fenders but am trying to do it different, so I thought about the chrome flames or bare metal flames. I am just kicking it around.

No cheesy stickers, real chrome. Did not know if it was possible to have real chrome flames put on the tank. I am aware of the prosses but was wondering if it could be done how some people put gold on thier stuff.

I've seen chrome paint done, it's actually a paint process. I saw it on pimp my rides, it was done in a paint booth, and actually looked like real chrome. Chrome flames would be pimp, and probably look a lot better than that ugly a$$ car on the pimp my ride show. (every car they do is fugly!)

You could;
1) Chrome the tank, mask off your flames, then paint the rest of the tank
2) Buy Chrome paint from Alsa
http://www.alsacorp.com/
3) Find a custom shop that uses the more expensive Alsa chrome paint process and have them do it
4) Use a chrome stick on material and clear over it.
