guys, anyone here know bout chrome? was thinking to "celup" my whole casing with chrome color..anyone here know where, and how much it cost? thanks

Erk..I will say it's bit expensive la bro ..but worth to try..

not bit but sure expensive for 100% chrome coat

try ask motor workshop they should know where and how much coz they also do chroming for some parts of motorcycle

ah thx bro.will ask the motor shop after this.

Yes you can , just spray it and sand it and spray it again

That's a great idea

Dude,its impossible to paint something into chrome color.

Not sure about this, but i heard somewhere that chrome can transfer electric current, is it true?

if its true then u'll risk causing electricity leak with ur PC if u paint it 100% chrome...

there is a thing call Chrome Rattle can

thanks for ur comment dude. fyi, i just want my front panel, up n side panel only. not a chasis. nway thanks for ur remider

i tot hardware shop selling chrome paint for rm15

Electrolysis...am i rite? like the experiment in coating the metal...i also forgot how... anyway, i also saw a chrome spray for about RM15-RM20...try search around the hardware shop..

If "celup"(dipping) into the chrome thingy would be electrolysis just like ryudox said, never heard of Chrome spray can, but i think its worth a try since the "celup" procedure might cost u more...

Interested with ur chrome suggestion, hope you'll find a way to chrome ur casing bro..

ahaaa....today me also thinking the same think with ts and i manage to find the shop to CELUP the case into crome....if u around kl u can go to jalan sungai besi behind BMW car show room there got 3 shop doing chrome celup but i dunno how much its will coast u

Great new founding..If you were to go to that place again,ask them hows the charges all right.

just asked the "bangla" worker at factory near my house [sg. buloh] there how to do it. they charge me rm100 but im pretty sure they did this without their boss permission.lol. so the price might change depends on the time n their mood i think.

sure will do thats this saturday...if cheap im thinking to do it on my full tower casing ...will post here how much its coast later

but chrome will conduct electricity, its a metal and the electrons in the electron sea can move about in the chrome layer. make sure your cables are nicely arranged and managed, no koyak2 here and there.

anyways, cool idea of chroming!!! can also shave yourself and look at the insides of ur pc if u have a window!!

lastly, all the best!!!

very2 expensive bro..better u buy aurora

bring ur stuff to thailand bro..there heard cheap to chrome..normally chrome for motor part and bicycle parts

this kind of chrome...is not reali chrome..after a while..u will see it more like silver..
tried it before...

celup mahal hooo.. try at car paint shop.. maybe they've it

First solution : Buy a chrome paint at hardware shop.. (eventhough it'll became silver later on, u can paint it again since the cost not a bomb to u)

second solution : Bring the part that u want to "celup" to Thailand. its cheaper than Malaysia but the risk is i also will going silver in 5-10 months. (my frenz "celup" his car's rim within 6 months silver oledi)

last solution : spend around 100 n go to any shop which provide "celup" krom service (Perak better)

Nice infos.

remember post ur picture after you successfully chrome ur casing

those spray chrome paint works with steel surface only,like wood or plastic,once it dry try n rub it,ur hand will have those chrome flakes.
its worth a try,as i spray my compressor into chrome color and my boss said...wah....new we bought new machine?
cheers

only steel??then how about alluminium?

expensive la brother
the money u used for chroming is sufficient to get a new chasis

alu i din try b4...
if wan those really good looking ones,go for stainless steel hehe
with those prices,get a new chasis seems more reasonable
cheers

yup...
get new chasis with chrome as well... LOL

if u have a lot of money...then everything works...get other opinions...i think u got the celup idea from the show american chopper rite?? cool design...

Yup..money is everything...hehehe

still remind me for celup my c70 side engine cover..hehe... ur pc will shining if u dipping in chorome,im not prefer to u to spray with chrome spray,its not truly pure spray...

so how was your chrome project?get done already?juz wondering where is the shop in sg buloh?coz i'm staying at subang.wish to chrome my car front grill and door handle..and its all plastics..is it possible?

good luck o..hope u get what u wanted

TS, i dont think it will look really good... for example, look at this car... 1st first u see it... "wow".. then, look boring...



additional info... this is a real chrome casing



i think a sprayed casing with mirror effect (piano finish) look much better than a plain chrome casing...

i've seen a chromed honda before..it looks unique on the road hahas..

sand, primer, chrome paint, wet sand, clear coat

try it on a small piece of metal ... it's a great experience

chrome using electroplating (electrolysis) method.. guarantee 100% good.
