Got some lovely shiny plastic parts and turned around in just 4 days. Gonna have to find some other dull bits to have chromed.

Spray Yard sprayed our four metal dining chairs to match our new table and we are very pleased with the result. The colour and finish are excellent. Our chairs were collected and returned by Spray Yard - all very easy. Would definitely recommend Spray Yard!
