I know I read a post a it said like two weeks, but the acid looks kinda of green and it looks like it is done. It has been in there for 4 days. Is that normal or is that like a stage? Any info would be greatly appreciated. 2000 Black SVT

It's probably an illusion and your seeing the shine of the chrome coming off. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!

Took all of 3 weeks though before nuthing but the plastic was left. Justin 98.5 CSVT # 4887 of 6535 (born 2/28/98)

It's probably an illusion and your seeing the shine of the chrome coming off. Actually no lie, mine was done in 3 days. Removed it after 4 to be safe. I didn't have to take a single bit of chrome off of it. Tony 1998 SVT Contour (B/MB) #542 3L 1998 SVT Contour (SF/MB) #1266 parts car 2000 SVT Contour (SF/MB) #1533 3L swap to begin!
