    I did mine out the back on a not so breezy day, then a good lacquer in the house with some dust sheets down when Mrs Spennny was out

    Then doors open for the next 3 hours to clear the smell

    its really easy keith. give it a go, sand the chrome down with some wet and dry, aabout 1200 grit just to give it a rough surface. spray on two coats of primer. approx 3 coats of colour. just thin coats. then 2 coats of lacquer.

    Do it outside, but make sure its not windy. Just bring it in to dry so its warm, especially with the laqcuer or it wont shine. Keep the paint inside as well, to keep that warm.

    Paint from Halfords will do you fine

    bodyshop will charge you to specifically mix the paint and materials
    ontop of that - paint and materials would be probably £40 plus their labour
    dont see a shody shop doing it for under a tun
