Hi,

No major pictorial updates because my conti is still in the same condition to look at.

Only mechanical works(restoration) were carried out for the past months. Seats/dashboard removed and given for upholstery.

Anyways, here is a pic that i took while trying on the bmw alloys that i was able to procure a long back.

The work on my car has staggered as the bodyshop is pretty busy in milch cows - you know

Will surely update step-by-step.

Bezel is the plastic cladding besides the round headlamps.

spray painting will never give you the chrome like effect. the closest thing you can get is the vinyl wrap. you get chrome vinyl wraps which may do the trick. thats what they use on chrome coloured cars, not paint.

I have seen videos on youtube for spray on chrome. The finish is fabulous. Do check on youtube with keywords 'spray-on chrome'

Oh yeah, Please remove that wheels, spoils the otherwise good looking car. May be the alloy design makes it more ugly. Settle for some full chrome deep dish steel rims.

@kkvaidya: please share the details regarding chrome paint. I wanna try it on bumpers.

I recollect we (Kittigadu and myself) had visited one guy 2-3 years ago on Kanakapura road. Blore, he did the spray on chrome. I don't know if he existed now. e showed us the process and some of his works. Looked good to do any item with chrome and may shades.

We happened to bump into him at Red rooster racing and he handed his card out.

Wish you good look in looking for spray on chrome.

Brought home my restored delight on 4th May
Still many small things need to be looked at like the aluminum bezel on the front grill, front bumper needs chrome plating, windshields need a buffing etc.
