You could modify it to the facelift full chrome one. |

Yeah thought about that but I don’t want to have to pay for it. I just want to revive what I have. I take it you’ve updated to the later one? |

I do like the idea of just spraying it and that’s it and was keen to see if others have done the same. |

A bad idea!!! Used it a few times in the past - both black and orange. Colour doesn't stay true as it 'greys off' and gives an awful appearance [in my experiences]. Also it's prone to peeling on any slight imperfection or seam...... horrible, horrible stuff IMO. If you go to the bother of spraying then I'd just use the conventional method of paint! FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:- Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip, Bluetooth Music Streaming Module. |

I have an ABS chrome cover which IMO looks far better than the original dull finish and far easier than facelift modification - see image in my gallery

Did mine with base and laquer when I removed the rust from under the handle so did the handle to match. REME .. Rough Engineering Made Easy |
