    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Wow, I can see a small business opportunity :-)

Thanks for sharing.

Really cool and seemingly simple process. Local paint shops should be jumping on this. They should have all the equipment already and provide a fairly unique service.
 
Amazing process. Wonder how much it costs?
 
The chromed gas tanks are awesome

. That is the first thing I thought of before even looking at the site. Seems like a heck of a good idea.

Cheers.

My buddy that owns an aluminum wheel refinishing company just picked up what I think is this system and we will be painting my kat wheels shortly. I will post results.
 
Looking back on it, I'm a little concerned their web site hasn't been updated, under construction, since 2010. Makes you wonder just how current it still is?
 
I saw this 6 or 8 years ago at the SEMA show in Las Vegas. You can do this to absolutely anything that can be painted with regular paint. It really is as easy as they make it look on the video, and it's only a little more expensive than regular paint.
I'm pretty surprised it hasn't taken off. Like I say, I saw it years ago.
 
Watched that video on Lenos Garage as well. Pretty cool.

Did you find it after you viewed my waterless coolant thread? Ha. :D
 
JayWB....so you paint the parts with regular paint...then you respray the chrome stuff and the base paint acts as the bonding agent?? Is the chrome stuff sold in spray cans? Im tried their website and its not really "up and running". Got some other info to lead us to the product?
 
I am doing some research on it right now as I can see this as a business opportunity. There are several suppliers of this type of paint and if you do a search on chrome paint you will find them. I think you can get it in small quantities and in spray bomb kits.

I'm presently looking for a local supplier to gets some info on availablity and costs in my area and what kind of equipment is needed to spray it. Some companies seem to sell some equipment that is not exactly inexpensive and that could be a limiting factor.

I'm thinking it must be costly or there are some drawbacks to it since, like some have said, it doesn't seem to be that popular, at least around here.
 
I've got a throwback to the 60's Nighthawk I'm doing and I've had two boatloads of parts go out for chroming. I've got one left to go. How does this compare to regular chrome in price, durability and looks?

All you need is an air compressor, an air gun for paint, and distilled water. And, the base paint coat, metal finish, and clear coating obviously.

It's the same as mirroring, so just look how what's needed to paint a mirror.

No. This is a system, and it doesn't involve regular paint.What I said was if you can paint it with regular paint then you can paint it with this stuff.

And, no, I don't have any other leads. I just saw it years ago at the SEMA show. It really stuck in my mind because it's pretty impressive and not very expensive.And it wasn't in spray cans when I saw it, you spray it with what looked like a regular paint sprayer, but I think it was specially designed for this stuff.
