Find out about the gold they show on the home page. A true gold like that, could be really useful around these parts.

Thanks,
Fred

It's like mirra chrome from alsa. Best use in professional environment (sprayboot) with professional tools. Here are the directions:

Use of Chromirox - Chrome Effet Paint
CONTACT
INDISPENSABLE steps to follow for a correct chromed surface


1. The 3 keys for a good chromed piece are:
- FLAT Surface
- BRILLIANT surface (Lacquered)
- DRY varnish and fully dried (Very important)

With this we mean the surface has to be very well dried and really hard.

2. Apply a fine layer and several layers of chrome effect (2-3 layers), without applying too much, until the surface is fully covered. Apply with bigger pressure of air, and smaller quantity of product. Apply at 20-22 ºC

3. Dry in the spray booth at 60-80ºC, 45 minutes. approx. Be careful with the plastic. (For industrial applications, for example tires, dry at the maximum temperature, 30 min. at 150-200ªC)
Allow to crystallize the product 1 day. If you cannot wait, Allow to cool at least 2 hours before lacquering.

4. Varnishing:
- With the Fixachrome (Special clearcoat): 1 fine layer, wait 15 min. and finish it. Let it dry for 45 min.. Then, apply a 2K topcoat.

What kind of paint formulation is it?is it like a urethane,an epoxy or something else?Can it be applied to vinyl kits?If so,for vinyl kits should a clear coat be applied(like a urethane),then polished to assure as perfect a surface as possible,then apply the chrome paint?

 

[MustangGTR1]
