Nothing new... It is a little more sensitive to chemicals as the luster can fade, but it is still pretty tough.

It's also very vulnerable to oxidation without a clearcoat. Most of the time you see it looking really "chrome" it is without a clearcoat. When they put the clearcoat on it really dulls it down.

I saw it years ago at the Concour Italiano in CA. It's not great unless it gets polished and it looks more like aluminum after a while. Here's comparison shot of chrome versus powdered chrome. Powder is on right.

Ya, I used the chrome powder on the carb bodies on my bike..it is very shiny...until you put the clear over top of it like salty said...then it looks very much like polished aluminum...which works great for carb bodies.

Wondering how it would look and hold up on the tail piece of the exhaust.

Those carbs are nice BriBird, what product did you use?

Hey smagnusen, Thanks,.... I used columbia coatings chrome powder, with the 120% clear over top. Then for the tops and bottoms I used black mini texture powder.

I tried using some other powders but found that the ones I got from columbia coatings always looked the best. I have not had good exp with any of the powders from eastwood.
