What to Do for Chrome Repair's!
 
Well ive looked around and Unless I wana mail my transformers piece's to get Chromeized via company for about 2$ piece then Add Shipping. So I did some research. And I found out another Solution. Go to your local Car,Airplane,etc Model Shop and you should be able to find something like this. http://www.bare-metal.com/ the Chrome Product I purchased was only 9.99$ might be cheaper other places or more but for 10$ I got a Large Sheet of Chrome that Works Awesome! I found it works best to follow thier intructions + I used some fine sandpaper to ruff the plastic up more and thus it sticks alot Better. But ive fixed 3+ G1 Figure's + thier Weapon's and only used about 4" Long bye 1/2" Wide. Im quite happy I found this Solution cause painting my figure's change's it were this is not Permenant =) Thus my Figure's dont lose value hehe!

Awesome....I've seen something like this before but never tried it on TFs. How's the durability? Perhaps a clear coat is needed?

i didn't think guilding could be used on tf's because of the rub factor.
