Chrome

[warbirds]

Chrome is the thing holding me up on my large car build....anyone have any suggestions? The best I have heard so far is to use Molotow liquid Chrome refills and use their contents in a spray gun.

Alsa chrome might work for you, especially on larger parts.  Here is a good place to start (the info is hidden in a hubcap thread).

Is there anything in a easy to find spray can that might come close to Easy Chrome?

My friend Mark tried this stuff. I ordered it from amazon. Not really expensive. Just apply like alclad . Base black with this over it. He says it’s a little stronger than alclad. We will see this weekend. I have a 32 ford I’m having trouble deciding a color. Might use this and see if it will work. It might work for you.

Here is what he sprayed. Model factory hiro lotus 49 front upper control arms.

I just shot some Spaz Stix on some smaller engine parts.  I have used it several times on smaller parts.  I have been pleased with the results.  Not truly chrome but way better than silver spray paints.

This might be worth a try as it worked well when I tried it. First coat was white automotive primer (aerosol), When dry it was rubbed VERY gently with worn wet n dry,  just enough to take away the powdery feel that you get with primer paint. after dusting off I sprayed with an aerosol polished metal finish. I let this dry thoroughly and went over it with Johnsons Klear ( I think it has been renamed Future now). This dulled the shiny finish a bit but left a hard coat on the part when it had dried. Now for the finishing touch I used C1's polishing powder and it buffs upwell  to a high shine. The beauty of this stuff is that you can handle it afterwards.
