<p>Back in the 60s, when I was a sculpture student, glass reinforced plastic was the new exciting material. One technique was to mix metal powder with the gel coat and get a product that 'looked' like cast metal. It was called cold casting. Could spraying equipment be modified to spray finely ground aluminium powder mixed with varnish or some other resin?</p>

<p>dunno about the warwicks but as i recall the ibanez chrome satch guitars famously had a lot of finish problems.</p>

<p>It's a heavy finish looks like plating I don't know how it was done, but yes would be cool with a metal look finish.. </p>
<p>Warwick does chrome finish <a href="http://www.warwick.de/en/Warwick---Basses-Made-in-Germany--Streamer--Streamer-CT--4-5-6-string--Pictures.html" target="_blank">http://www.warwick.de/en/Warwick---Basses-Made-in-Germany--Streamer--Streamer-CT--4-5-6-string--Pictures.html</a> </p>

<p>wow!</p>
<p></p>
<p>i had no idea something like that was even possible, and now i'm wondering why nobody's just used that layer as the actual finish? </p>
<p></p>
<p>real brushed-metal electric guitar bodies would be very striking.</p>
<p>wow!</p>

<p>Looks to me like it's been plated. You can metal plate wood, plastics and other materials by first painting with a conductive coating. Google search, I'm sure would turn up lots of info on this.</p>

<p>wow, that is really strange and yes it does remind me of JB weld. Maybe they were trying to make the guitar a little more "metal"?? if so, they should have just bought a Jackson! (^_^)</p>
