Need help with Airbrushing/Alclad for Chrome

[hollowplague]

Some background, Started with Krylon Gloss Black Polished and I tried using a gravity fed and a siphon. .8mm and .5mm. Ranging from 18psi to 30 psi.

I am trying to achieve the chrome similar to this:

When I was testing it at my friends how I was using abour 30 to 40 psi with a DA gravity fed but it wasted a lot of paint.

I think this is the best chrome but tbh I have no idea what I did to get here.

I have been reading that the siphon fed .8mm cheap airbrush is the best to use for alclad but when I use it at 15-18 psi it gets really foggy and grainy.

This is after buffing as well. What is the issue and how can I fix this? I tried spraying close and far from 1" to 3" and it still looks like this. These are using brand new airbrushes btw.

You have to keep the Alclad coats light, most of the shine comes from the black undercoat. Apply the Alclad in light mist coats, barely applying any at all. Build it up slowly to the finish you want. I don't know what difference the airbrush type would make, generally a gravity feed takes less pressure than the siphon, but whichever one gave the best results stick with it.
