Chrome Illusion FAQ
Will the silver tarnish?
No, as long as the specially formulated basecoats and topcoats are used.
Can I metallize only one piece?
Theoretically, yes. However, our products and processes are designed for commercial manufacturing operations only. We are not a supplier for the hobbyist or home craft makers.
What is the major difference between silver spray metallizing and using metallic paint?
There’s a considerable difference in both appearance (especially shine/brilliance) and feel when comparing real metal to paint. The silver finish is also much more durable and will not fade over time. However, there is little difference in price when comparing a typical spray painting process to a silver spray process.
Our chemicals are sourced here, with chemists working to provide the very best in spray-on-chroming. Our chemicals come in concentrated form in containers that have their own measures so no need for all that pouring and measuring, simple squeeze the container to fill up a dispenser attached to the recommended amount and pour.
Our basecoat is of the highest quality with outstanding adhesion, it has excellent flo-out and covers a lot more imperfection.
Our goal is to ensure that our customers will receive technical support when they need it and not when it suits. The majority of feedback we get about other companies is the lack of technical support and customers have told us they just wanted to give up, we are here to make it work and support you through the learning curve.
We’ve been there ourselves and with our technical expertise and knowledge we can help you resolve any issues you encounter.
The most important point is that there is no need to purchase one basecoat and one hardener and thinner, and one topcoat and one hardener and one thinner.
It’s simply the same product? Our topcoat has hardener and thinner but for our basecoat you simply add a colour to the topcoat and so you are spending 50% less. Once you have silvered your part you can either colour the topcoat for a chrome effect finish or gold, brass, copper or almost any colour of the rainbow.
