Everyone was going the fake chrome look so I went the fake gold chrome look!!! Its been on for nearly 18 months and needs to be re-done. I took the cooler off and gave it 3 coats. Some just mask up the front but mines a MKII with the stupid bracket in the way so thought I would do it properly. Bit of a pain but not to bad if your patient and have plenty of brews in the fridge.Might use some clear too next time. Oh the paint wont affect power either..... its already painted anyway!!!!!!!!

I've been on cruises with guys and they haven't even noticed It's different and that's what I like about it..... if it was twice the size then I'd be a bit happier though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
