You can but the red over silver metallic and when the bright light is on it you can see the metallic through it. Looks cool

Nice motor hvac36. Bad cool

The pics s@ck you can't really see the metallic.

As always, just make sure it is clean, clean, clean. Lint can be a PITA, even with "lint-free" towels. And it would show up easily on real chrome finishes.

Hey Boink that looks real cool. And so does Hvac36's motor. I always think everyones work looks better than mine.
