QUOTE(mcchin @ Nov 6 2006, 12:58 PM) hey why didnt any one thought about metalizing Talking bout physical vapour deposition¿? Not practical if wanna do @ homesomething like the layer on the car head lamps. it is known to be allumanium based type and the way they layer in the lamps is put it inside a big vacuum-oven allumanium pellets are stuck on a tungsten wire which is heated up and the Al will ionised and stick to the surface(this is why it requires a vacuum condition. and walla!! a smooth layer like your car lamp though you hafta noe some one on the inside to do this   Electrolysis is way easier |
