Any prices on the WS-6 ones? You do the side grills too, between the fender and the door? I'd like a price for all 6, if possible, and a E.T.A.

Thanks, those look freaking Awesome!

I'd probably be interested in a set, too, for my Hawk. What about the heat extractor vents? So, total, that'd be 8. Price please! Thanks.

Thanks for the numbers.......and you didn't add any pressure, hope it didn't come across like that......I'm as anxious to get it done, and done right as you are......I wish things would turn out to easier like they are advertised, I hate when they don't!....I just buffed the 3rd coat of chrome and it looks stunning, I'm just nervous about the final clear making it turn cloudy again, keep your fingers crossed.....

Blue You NEVER fail to amaze me with your dedication to these grills...I know I havent posted in a few, due to I was moved to another section, and I am way more busy now than ever.
Let me know when you have your clear coat prob gone, and money will be sent!!
I'll be home in Feb for a few days then back here.....Then again in April for about 20 days. Maybe by then you might have that prob solved?
Hope so, Anyway....See ya on the Flip side.....Neil

I'm sure that yes, it could be done........that said, just when I think I have the steps mastered, a problem comes up like the one I'm having now....all I can say is if I can get the right amount of chrome laid down (which is very little) and the clear stays clear, then I'm home free and ready to move on to other stuff like side grilles, Firehawk grilles and that sort of thing....stay tuned, I'll keep everyone informed......

No, I didn't even want to ask the price, I'm positive it's very expensive!.....

I'm useing Mirrachrome with my air brush.....and here is an update, I tried for the 3rd time to lay down the final clear coat and had the same damn results, clouded, flat looking finish that riuned a very brilliant, chrome finish....I'm pissed, and I jetted off a e-mail to a guy I'm working with at Alsa to say so.....I'll update later hopefully with better news......DAMN!!.....

maybe better than getting chromed in some cases... buddy of mine paints cars and they sent him to school in pa all expense paid hotel with pool ,,anyways he said youll start seeing pinstiping , outlining of flames and things like that done with it..believe house of kolors has something similar too...Imagine maybe a black car with ghost flames parked at a show , you go over to it and look under the hood ./.oh my god Imagine the shine youd get if you painted the whole engine bay with it!!! LOOKS GOOD!!!
