Chrome paint<\/a> is suitable for auto parts like wheels or bumpers. In such cases, top coating is essential to protect the paint from shocks and scratches.<\/p>\n

Methods of chrome plating<\/span><\/h5>\n

The other methods for chrome plating are:<\/p>\n

– the chrome machine (quite expensive)<\/p>\n

– the chrome galvanized bathroom (now highly regulated in Europe)<\/p>\n

– the chrome vaccuum plating (pieces limited size)<\/p>\n

The mirror chrome paint, manufactured by Pearls and Flakes, is by far the best compromise in term of cost and time.<\/p>\n

You will clearly see big savings and gain of time.<\/p>\n

A 250ml can allows to paint 8 rims!<\/p>\n

Applying chrome paint<\/span><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The painting itself is quite easy.<\/p>\n

The most important is to have prepared the surface with a hard, glossy and black undercoat prior to the painting. The harder and glossy it s, the better chance of getting a beautiful mirror chrome effect.<\/p>\n

Chrome paint dries instantly, but requires 2 to 4 days to fully cure.<\/p>\n

Chrome paint can be baked at 150 \u00b0 C to accelerate the drying of the paint.<\/p>\n

The delicate stage is the top coat that requires a great deal of skill. But thanks to the significant experience we have developed with our clients, we have designed a simple technique to clear coat over the chrome paint.<\/p>\n
