If you stuck some Chrome (or Gold) in the tub and reversed to polarity what would happen?

A chrome TV might be kind of cool.
I think it might work if you used the right electrolyte. I've heard chrome compounds are pretty nasty though.

I sprayed on a couple light coats of the Ivory Bisque then let it dry and sanded. Then another two coats and sanding.


Here's a preview before I sprayed the bottom. I think it's gonna look pretty sweet


Next, I masked off the white top and sides and sprayed a few light coats of orange.


After it set up about an hour, I carefully removed the blue tape. The orange bled through in a couple spots, but it's not too bad.
I think a little careful sanding will take care of it. Then, I'll put on some clear coat and let it cure for a week or so.
