Hiya, I posted this earlyer in the week and got no joy.
So I was woundering if there were any tips of the trade in how i go about painting the chrome backing shells?
I really want this done as it will set my mini off just perfect!
Cheers

Try your hardest to get the chrome off.. Use a hard biting etch primer and then paint.
Should be fine. Normal primer has less chance of biting into the chrome though. I found a U-POL etch primer called ACID #8 or something quite good.
