I used gold chrome paint from supercheap.

I took the bumper and intercooler off to do mine, but you can just mask it up with the bumper and cooler on.

Mine is holding up OK after 8 months, but I'll do it again soon.

I didnt strip or undercoat.

I used a chrome colour pressure pack and then cleared over it.No flaking and is still there but it will be replaced with a bigger cooler very soon.

I have removed the matt black paint with 2K thinner .I found that polishing it with any type of metal polish makes it look like :spoton: The cooler had to be removed all up took about 1.5hrs to do from start to finish.
