Molotow chrome on abs plastic

[R.D.F.]

Hi

This isn't a modeling question. 

I want to use Molotow on a new ABS grill for my car. 

My question is. If I sprayed clear ceramic over it would it look like aluminium?

Thanks

Yes.

I have yet to see a clear that doesn't destroy the chrome effect.

Molotow chrome is far too fragile for an application like this anyway.

It's not the answer to everyone's chrome fantasies.

Thanks for your reply. I had contacted Molotow and they said the same thing but wanted to know if someone found an answer to spraying over it. I want to spray a clear ceramic or poly over it so it won't chip. Having it look like aluminum is OK as long as it bright compared to a dull finish.

I believe Molotow is actually an ink product. I think for your application a rattle can chrome would work better and last better over time.

From my understanding Molotow is lacquer. There is no true rattle can chrome. If ceramic chrome paint was made I'd use that. Used ceramic paint on my calipers and engine and it's holding up well.

In fact, there is. It's from uh... Molotow.

Never mind, this stuff has nothing in common with the "pen ink". It's designed to be used on graffitis...

Thanks for the link but I'm sure this is the same stuff people use from a refill bottle in their air brushes.
