Instructions

STEP 1:

For the most dramatic Chrome effect, Eastwood Liquid Chrome Paint must be applied over a smooth glossy black surface that's been top coated with (50251ZP) Eastwood European ClearCoat Urethane catalyzed with (50252ZP) Activator. It can also be applied over most other urethane clear coatings. (Not compatible over PPG or House of Kolor coatings).

Color sand and buff to a glass smooth finish, following the urethane clear manufacturer's guidelines, and allow base to cure for 5-10 days at 70 to 95 degrees F before going to step 2.


STEP 2:

Wipe area to be coated with denatured alcohol or lacquer thinner/solvent to remove any residual grease, wax or oil residue. Next, wash the gloss urethane with hot detergent and water solution. (A solution of Dawn or Palmolive dishwashing detergent and water works well.) Exercise care to avoid scratching surface. For best results surface must remain scratch free and as smooth as glass.


STEP 3:

Stir and pour Eastwood Liquid Chrome into a spray gun or airbrush cup.NOTE: No additional thinning is necessary or desired.

Apply coating with a HVLP detail gun with 0.8 - 1.0 mm nozzle or airbrush with #5 tip. Adjust gun for very light material flow (about 1/2 to 3/4 turn open from the fully closed position). Adjust fan and pressure to produce an even very light mist fan about 2 inches wide.

Apply 3 or 4 very light coats, allowing 15 - 20 minutes between coats. Stop as soon as you achieve full opacity. Heavy coats or additional coats will produce a duller finish. Allow coating to dry for 1 5 minutes. NOTE: Full reflectivity will not be revealed until the end of step 4.


STEP 4:

GENTLY wipe the surface with a high-quality, absolutely clean, dry, microfiber cloth or 100 percent cotton towel or shirt. Do not use any hand pressure. Just let the weight of the cloth pick up any dry spray. This will slightly brighten the surface and improve reflectivity.


STEP 5:

Allow the coating to dry an additional 12-24 hours. Stir and apply 1 medium coat of Eastwood Liquid Chrome Clear (12452Z). NOTE: No additional thinning is necessary or desired.The application of this clear will decrease reflectivity by 5-15 percent, but it will prevent the coating from smudging and can be left as is or top coated with most two-part urethane automotive coatings for an even more durable finish. (Not compatible with PPG or House of Kolor coatings).


STEP 6:

Buff any two-part urethane clear to a smooth perfectly flat finish. (Refer to urethane clear color sanding and buffing instructions.)

Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product if used right. You have to apply this very lightly with an airbrush over FULLY cured gloss black. If you paint the chrome over gloss black paint too soon it will etch into the black and then your final product will look silver and not chrome.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Made the part look much better. Worked pretty good until i cleared it , it looked alot like polished stainless then

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Disappointing spray on chrome This product was disappointing. I followed the directions exactly and the piece came out looking like polished steel. Also, the minute you mist on the clear coat the paint takes on a definite bluish hue. You can achieve the same results using a chrome spray paint from a rattle can. Just mist lightly from a distance. And at fraction of the price. This is not worth the cost.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Cheap clear The “chrome” sprays on great with an airbrush. Unfortunately I have had nothing but problems from the cheap clear they use. I have followed instructions to a T and the clear coat keeps lifting the chrome paint.

painting a grill black then masking an out line to chrome with your paint. Can I clear the hole thing with urethane clear ^

Asked by: neil
You will lightly need to scuff the black for adhesion as it will be fully cured by that time and then you should have no issues using a quality urethane clear over both finishes. (Not compatible with PPG or House of Kolor coatings).

Does this have to be sprayed over urethane, or can it be spayed over acrylic-enamel?

Asked by: cmdstek1
We can only guarantee compatibility with what we personally sell. The paints we sell this can be applied over are all acrylic urethane based. IF you wish to try- be sure to test a small area first; but we would not be able to guarantee.
