Hi,
I'm posting this in the hope that someone can help restore the dome on my vintage 12 inch r2d2 that I picked up recently it's a shame as the body is pristine white, but the dome is knackered.
It would be a shame to give up on him, but I think the main issue will be getting a good chrome finish. I've looked online and all the sprays are rubbish apart from this one product called spaz stix mirror chrome, but it's only available in the us and to get it to the uk would be nearly £30
The other option is to send it to a chromers , just have to check they can do plastic. I'm happy to pay anyone on here if they think they can help, I'm not going to try and pass it of as original and he will be purely for my collection and to keep my 12 inch c3p0 company
Most of the blue is ok, but my masking skills arnt great, let me know if anyone has any ideas or if they can help? I suppose another option would be to look out for another r2 with better dome.
Cheers for any advice, Jonathan
