I use a process called vacuum metalizing. The same process I use for the Indiana cherubs and idols I sell.

Looks fantastic. Some really shiny mesh for between the teeth would be great.

I thought I'd post a bit of an update to this.

I am building a workshop and renovating and extending our new home. Once that's complete I'm investing in a Spraychrome system.

So if it's not nailed down..........

1. How did I miss this thread?

2. How does the spray chrome compare to the vac-metalized on the finished product?

Congrats on the shop and home add on!

Hi mate,

1. No idea!

2. It is pretty indistinguishable from vacuum metalizing... I'd say it is easier with the correctly prepped surface and can be done in a spray booth with a drip tray..... It is lacquered afterwards to protect the surface.
