clearly, no one has really done this experiment and knows what they are talking about in the comments. The moment you spray any of these reflective paints in clear, you'll get a matte grey finish. Its fun to see that paint still hasnt changed in 30 years and still advertise with caps😂
The best true chrome paint is Alsa Easy Chrome. But it ain't cheap 🤑. And it is a multi-step process starting with painting with high gloss black first. But not as good as their chemical process version. Which is probably the same stuff car manufacturers use to chrome plastic parts like front grilles. PChrome is a similar chemical chrome process too.
That's removing the oil pump gear drive shaft on a Mopar not an easy thing to do. By the way you dodged guys if you're using the stock distributors make sure you go to Napa and get the mo 3000 rotor hotter spark and you'll notice the difference. It will bring the rotor Gap with a spark will go to the side not try to find its way top side because the Gap is so excessive.
I really really hate the rustoleum spray heads . The spray heads over a few spray or about 3/4 of paint left in the can the paint will gather around the spray nossle and then starts to drip and drizzle the paint on to the work . I hate that and will destory the work . The old fan spray heads are great and work really good for what they are . Still not like spraying with a gun but for small jobs it is vary good .
One thing you are spraying these way way to close to the work . That is one big problem . The other thing you need to shake these cans for at least 5 minutes to 10 minutes for proper mix .
Why do they put chrome mirror blank caps on that crap? To make you buy the product? You need to file a complaint with the Federal trade commission. They have to put the cap that is exactly like the result of painted surface. Matte.
The spatters you are having are not the paint but the operator, if you watch closely, you are releasing pressure from the nozzle just about the spraying material. Hope this helps figuring out origin of the “fish eye” spatters 😅
Try ACE Hardware's Matelic finish. ITs a lot like Rustolium Matelic finish, but with a much more mirrored finish. Just do it is one light mist first coat and one heavy second (and final) wet coat. That's just two coats total. And make sure to let it dry over a week before touching as it stays tacky for several days. But the end results is worth it... just have to be really patient. I use it on my model airplanes when i do WW2 aircraft with natural metal finishes.
Only real chrome spray is Revell chrom spray but is around 25-35 US dollars..depending where from you buy it-but that one is actually looking like chrome so I am not surprised by the cost of it coz these here look like sh... compared to Revell...I also looked for comparation of 25 other rattle can chrome sprays and only Revell delivers really chrome look.
Would anyone know the paint code to the 1970 SS Nova interior dash /glovebox/black color code and is the windshield cowl the same color code? Just replaced the cowl and want to spray both. Thanks
I tried this technique and it works great! Just be sure your socket fits tightly on the extension. You don't want a red hot socket slipping off the extension and landing on your new carpet. Ask me how I know!
Why would you use a textured piece of plastic to compare shiny Chrome on? You should have used the smoothest work piece you could find for this test. Also, your base coat should have been high gloss black.
Gonna be installing new carpet in my 1966 chevelle, this definitely is a much better idea then cutting a X and getting fluff and stuff everywhere! Eager to try this
