Scuff Plates.

[Andy-R]

Been wantin some Sport chrome scuff plates but have better things to spend my money on at the mo, so decided to spray the black ones silver to see what they look like, i'm actually very pleased with the results, obvioulsy wont be to everyones taste but it's saved me a few bob ;)

These are just sprayed for now to see what they look like so have not been laqured yet, just debating weather or not to do the dimples black like the OEM ones or even blue to match the car.

What do you think?

Cheers guy's.

Thought that Mat but hoping the laquer will stop that happening otherwise will just scrub them back to original.

Looks good mate, but as Matt says they may take a bashing so hope the laquer can keep it together or you will have to just do them every so often :)

They actually look quite good and very cost effective.

[Andy-R]

They don't really take much stick in my car anyway, me and the missus don't step on them in the front and out of the 2 kids it's only my 3 year old son who has to so hopefully the laquer will do the job either that or re-spray every few months, only takes a few mins anyway.

Look good mate,

well done.

[Steviewevie]

Yeah they do look good. I wonder what they'd look like with the round bits painted ?

[jomo]

Hmmm, may do mine now after looking at how good yours turned out.

What prep and paint did you use?

i bought sport chrome scuff plates for £30 off eBay got them yesterday and they look the part

[Parthiban]

I think if you paint the dimple bits black and then lacquer up they'll actually look pretty damn good :)

Cheers guys, didn't actually prep them as I was just playing about to see what they look like but now I know I like them then I think i'll strip them back prime them and then laquer them just used some Plastikote metallic silver spray, still can't decide if I can be bothered doing the dimples tho i'm far to impatient and lazy for that.
