There is a brushed metal finish, but it is really tricky because the grain will be transferred in the way it is dipped, but the pattern can shift causing it to look funny.

If you're ever able to do chrome i am VERY interested in some simple stuff like interior door handles and misc small interior peices like a/c vents.

Also interested in wiper cowl, ram air vents, fender vents, done in gloss black. Emphasis on chrome though!!!

can you do the cf pattern in different colors?
SOM?
I think it would look nice if it matched the color of the car.

We absolutely can do it in different colors. We can get a color close to SOM, I will check.
The thing about these patterns is that they have a transparent portion, and the pattern itself. This means that whatever color we use for the base coat, will be the color of the pattern. So we can have a blue carbon fiber black carbon fiber, red carbon fiber and so on. With one single pattern we can achieve many results.

Thanks, Roger

Any NON-POURUS surface can be coated. Since these parts will be clearcoated with a flex additive the part must be fairly rigid.
Leather, soft vinyl, NO.
Plexiglass, fiberglass, metal, rigid plastics, Aluminum, Steel, wheels, intakes, airlids, plastic interior parts, underhood strainless covers, emblems, fuel doors, spoilers, door panels, gun stocks, knifes, golf cart body panels, atv body panels, helmets, motorcylce gas tanks, t top trim, etc..... YES!!
Among other strange things that can be done are: light switch covers, picture frames, and game controllers. this should give you a very good idea.

Thanks, Roger

I wondered if you would be able to do a black and red pattern. This becomes even more interesting!

I already have a list of parts I want done but I'm not sure when I'll be ready to do it. I want to see the examples first too. I look forward to seeing them.

Glad to see you are offering this service. I need my LS3 intake manifold cover done. I'm looking for a specific pattern, so I'm looking forward to see what you have.

We will call tomorrow to see if they should be done. I know we CAN do them, but I want to make sure there is not a heat problem first.
If we can, about $80.00 would do it.

Thanks, Roger

apart from gaming controllers, can you do any gaming accessories? Like say an xbox 360 camera in matte black and battery charge kit to match a 360 elite?

Yep; it would just be a black base coat with a matte clear.

The valve cover application will work just fine, per the manufacturer of the film.

Thanks, roger
