theres no "back" side to the pie plates though, the whole face of it is flat and thats all I want to refinish.
Apparently after a quick google search, there is chrome spray paint now. Duplicolor makes them, haha

There is a back to the pie plate [ You can determine what it is made of by testing ] if your going to use chrome paint from my experience it does not look great and does not hold up well. Good luck

Buy a set of twisties on ebay, you will be amazed how much it changes the appearance. The finish on the pie plates is pretty thin but durable. My guess is its better to buy new if pie is what you want.

I just installed a set of chrome twisties and the change is amazing. You can now see the brake rotors which I plan to paint and letter.
