i saw in vol 34 no.1 2008 truckin mag... about a company called spectra chrome.its a comp.in florida that sprays on chrome, they did the anniv chrome grave digger body. they can spray it on alum,metals,PASTIC,GLASS,AND EVEN WOOD.

i know you can buy chrome paint but it doesnt ever fully dry.

chrome paint never comes out good. depending on what your doing you should either polish it or have it chrome dipped

If its done right chrome paint looks damn near like chrome.

i have chrome paint for lexan for use in my airbrush, looks crazy real but its also really expensive

i have used mirrachrome and house of kolors kosmic chrome, both are very high end chrome paints. they both need to be applied over a polished black surface, then sprayed with mirrachrome or kosmic chrome, then cleared. my point is that any of the chrome paints that are out there that are worth a crap should not be used on a daily driver due to the lack of adhesion. but they both do look incredible!

I actually have a buddy who's dad is doing this stuff.. I have been trying to make it down to his shop to see whats up with it.. From what I have heard it sounds pretty cool but I have a ton of questions before I have anything done.. As soon as I check it out Ill let you guys know what I find..

I would rather just get it done the right way and not have to worry about anything. Now if it was something that i didn't mind getting messed up than i would use that but not anything on my banshee...lol

for about $100 you can buy an eastwood powdercoating kit. find an old oven that someone is throwing out during a remodeling of their house and you have an instant powdercoating oven.

 

with powdercoating, you can do some reallynice fake chrome, copper, as well as the usual powdercoating colours.

The house of kolor mirror chrome looks better over silver than black in my opinion. You can still see a little bit of the metallic flakes if you really look at it but I have tried it over silver and think it looks better. The black looks kind of brownish yellow versus the silver which looks cleaner. Gotta let it dry at least 24hrs plus before a coat of clear or it will get a metallic base look to it instead of chrome. After all its just a super fine metallic. Found it to work best with about 2 to 3 light coats at most. Sata mini jet 4. Ive only used it on small grachics and parts. Looks good just not quite chrome when next to it but not bad.
