The only real "chrome" look comes from silver nitrate dropped out of solution onto the part. There are several companies that do it, you can buy a kit for about $350 that kind of works. The process requires wet sanding down to about 1500, and any imperfections show. It's all in the prep work. We had thought to bring that process in house, but it's not as forgiving (needs a clean room) and it will still require a clear coat (paint booth )
and all the problems that come with it. If you're just wanting to do up a set of grills, not worth the effort to do much other than a rattle can. I haven't see a really good paint yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/givemebeer.gif) If you just want some shinny stuff and don't mine some imperfections I may be able to find some seconds hanging around I could cut you a deal on. |
