Hey everyone,

I went to my local toysrus yesterday and i found one HHR., I bought it and when i got home it took it apart so i caould paint it blue. It wasent hard at all to dissable. I painted blue last night and it looks great besides the grill is satin not bright chrome. When i got it the Side mirror Skull caps were body color, and so was the dual exhasuts and rear body bar. The roof rails and door handels were also satin. So i am now typing off all the bule and i am going to repaint the Grill, Foglights, Doorhandesl, Roofrails, Side Mirror Skullcaps, and rear bodybar Chrome. So i have to go to Homedepot tonioght and get some mettalic chrome spraypaint. I will post some pics later after its all done being painted.

 

dont get chrome paint it looks cheap. go to a hobby store and get some chrome foil for model cars it will look 10 times better and its easy to apply..

chrome paint doesnt look cheap. Its just hard to do right.

 

I went to Toys R us yesterday after work and low and behold there was one sitting on the shelf. I plan on painting it black to match mine. Thanks crow for the chrome advice.

 

I still have not painted mine yet silver. But I will do it soon

 

I was the first!

Sindy why did you sand it when you could have jsut gotten kyrlon Fussion paint for plastic that requires not sanding or priming, By the way the crome paint i used looks awsome, maybe next time i will try your advice Crowbar. Would any one like to post my pics for me? Sindy? If i send them to you will you post them for me?

 

She probably Sanded it because it would probably look better.

 

Yup sanding is important to painting. If you want a nice smooth finish that actually adheres properly that is.

 

mine isent perfect but its good engough for me long as its blue and not +drak sliver and yellow anymore. NavFlayer is going to post some of my pics for me, i have a cuple more to send him tommarow of it re cromed.
