Kiadaw 6th Gear January 1, 2011 Share January 1, 2011 spray chrome? huh... ok sure.... right... Base on my knowledge, chrome cannot be painted. you have to dip it into a pool of charges (something like that). The process is call chroming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfenstar 3rd Gear January 1, 2011 Share January 1, 2011 Nope It's Not Approved by LTA. As the color scheme will draws confusion to other road users. You can check read through the PDF list at LTA website. If You Insisting That You Like To Proceed With Chrome Spray ... Sure You Can ... "BUT" Unless You Want To Place It As Show Car Then That Might Be An Exception. I'm sorry, but where does it state that chrome is disallowed??? I can't find it.

The process is call chroming. i think this process will weaken the metal... guess it will be higher risk of getting crushed in an accident... i used to send parts of my bike for 'chroming'... i think the process is called electro-plating?....

Yah a lot of bengs stick their cars with chrome stickers, got different color like red and green and blue Have you guys thought about this? If LTA says that chrome paint is not legal. Then stick the whole car with chrome decals and then tell them it's stickers, like the matte wrap. I think chrome decals will be legal And will Indecresent/color changing paint confuse the saman woman and traffic polices? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear January 2, 2011 Share January 2, 2011 (edited) Last time my Chrome LC kia with scorpion tail motorcycle also no problem. TP wil kaypo kaypo a bit, but ask them where is the illegal part, all keep quiet. Chrome engine, chrome fuel tank, chrome rims, chrome seats, chrome frame, etc. That's why I believe chrome car is also legal too. Of course TP can charge you for endangering or nuisance to other road user if the sun reflection did cause an accident. But before an accident had actually happen due to the chrome reflection, there is no strong case against a chrome car.

Renegade777 5th Gear January 2, 2011 Share January 2, 2011 The problem ith Singaporeans is always think it's illegal. FT will do first, Then act blur. By that time law caught up with them, they would have made tons of money!!! Clap clap !!! This is spot-on. But then we are brought up like that....scare this, scare that becasue of the many strict rulings that we eventually cow down to it and become a yes man. Our paths are guided and aint street smart.
