Nice find

[Todd B]

This past winter I looked at my part trucks for a steering wheel nut and washer for Jeff in CA. I found in a 52' truck of mine a horn ring. I wanted to get it re-chromed but decided $200 was out of my budget. I sanded it and painted it with Rustoleom paint. My wife wanted to hang out on our hill today so I decided to install the ring next to the fire pit. I am very suprised how sensitive it is, wow, I will have to learn how to drive all over again. Thanks Jeff, I did not realize that ring was in there.

Sorry I forgot the picture.

There's a spray on chrome that you can't tell from the real thing. A local motorcycle builder does it. I forget what the price comparison is but its a fraction of rechroming, and it can be done on any surface. I think its a two stage paint, but I've seen there work and you can't tell it from chrome. Something you may want to look into, but it doesn't look bad the way it is either. Mike

Todd;

Glad to have been of help......even if it was in a round about way.

I have some spray on chrome. (1) it dries VERY slowly, so spray in the evening and go to bed. It takes a good 24-36 hours. (2) it looked real on a piece of steel but not as good on my horn ring. It as a bit of a milkly look more so on a picture but still not a glistening bright.

This wheel looks very good.

The best stuff out there is "Spectra-Chrome" Look at the Grave Digger monster truck.
