Brush On Chrome

Postby Jay Criswell » Fri Nov 03, 2017 11:33 am

When I first saw this video I assumed it was fake. I'm told it isn't.

Someone's PA/PB, or even, FM might be a good test.

It doesn't go the exact video, you may have to scroll down a little.

I am a candidate, with a PA almost polished and ready - just have to engrave the radiator grilles a bit.

But your link just goes to New Zealand dirt bikes or something.

Very interesting find!

Now, how do you get some here?

You guys are hanging around with the wrong kind of mates. Get out in the garage and play with something fast. Grin!

It's called Easy Chrome, you can get it from ALSACorp in Los Angeles for one. It does need a bespoke mirror-finished basecoat, btw.

Actually, if you listened to the guy you'd know he wasn't from New Zealand, but a Yank. Kinda makes you wonder if this stuff wasn't American in the first place, listening to the guy...

:D :D

I scrolled down - but not far enough. Found it. Willing to try, as long as it is cheaper than the minimum price for local nickel plating.

Nope. Double the minimum charge for nickel plating.

Scroll down to where it is a $199. for 4oz of chrome, basecoat and a brush. A few of their vids have been making their way across the internet. Motorcycle guys are going crazy over it. At $199 i wont be the one to try and review it. Funny thin is they are out of California. So i would say the paint wont last. It can't have all the good chemicals to make last long outside.

I would make the conjecture that "Chrome in a Can" with work out just as well as the various "Mechanic in a Can" concoctions have over the years.

This should sell well in certain markets.
