As its a side line for me I usually turn parts around in 2 weeks. but some of the results I have got, they look awesome. Yep I have dulled the process down but i'm a signmaker / painter and i'm telling you its not as easy as it sounds. the basecoat not flat enough or the top coat to heavy. The Orange peel is usually from, the part not rubbed super flat first off. then you clearcoat the item and add colour with tinters if you want coloured chrome. rinse, blow dry, the heat for 1/2 hr to make sure part is really dry. what it on youtube its running off the part - the stuff is 90% water. then you mix your chemicals with the distilled water and spray on the item. you have to bake the item at 140 for 2 hours. it floods out and evens out really shiny and flat. then in the chrome coating, you paint a basecoat on the item. not like normal spraying you can rub it out and keep going.īascially as some of you said, repair the part or item as you would to paint it normally, then final rub wet with 1200 I can tell you its a very precise process and if you stuff it up at any stage ( 3 stages ) you start right back at the start. Yellowing issues are gone, and most of the time, user fault. While i'm still learning the chrome coating trade its really getting there. engine compartment stuff ok, rocker covers probably not. I wouldn't go and paint a bumper as it will chip like factory paint. if you want the next best thing this is it.

If you want a top quality show car, then get real chrome. In my opinion and I sell the service to many customers you also need a booth to apply the basecoat and top coat. You cannot co and buy the stuff off the shelf or paint it with a normal spray gun. yes you paint the bascoat and the clearcoat but the silver is actually applied with distilled water which acts as a carrier for the silver. I own a business in Victoria, Australia called 'ChromeFX' yes same as Alsa Corp.
