sometimes people sell the chrome parts on ebay but dont even bother waiting

typically people send their parts out to a company that chromes

or you do it yourself with expensive paint and supplies...the good chrome jobs start out black then go to chrome

my brother had some chrome spray paint once but it was not a mirror like finish at all

You can still get OEM panels from the dealer, pricey but my friend has gotten a couple sets and they are cherry.

Everything except the pg long can be had from any shop on O'ahu. Never seen chrome grips, but they have the billet metal grips with anodizing if you wanted a color.

PG long you gotta buy one and send it to a chrome shop, I hear the one over there (hawaii plating?) is usually backed up and some people have send their stuff to cali for chroming and got it back pretty quick.

Since when is chrome sprayed on? Chrome spray paint isn't real chrome. Metal is dipped into a vat with a electricaly charged chromium solution and the chrome is electro plated on. Not sprayed
