EASY CHROME

Product Info

The biggest thing that’s happened to custom paint!

This is it. Defying the Undefyable.

Fix your chrome with just a can of Easy Chrome in the trunk. As easy as that!

Pure silver. Mirror. We GUARANTEE CHROME!

THE HOLY GRAIL OF CHROME

EASY CHROME’s shine is near equal to our silver nitrate system. It’s the same level of gloss as real chrome. So it can repair chrome as well.

The same shine as our Chroming machines but in a simple spray!

·         It will not dull out after topcoat (top coat is optional; this stuff is pretty tough without it)

·         This will not fade for many years. 10 year warranty.

·         Basecoat 70% solids. It is like Glass! Same for topcoat.

·         Pretty crazy and durable without top coat. (Wheels will need topcoat)

·         Shines like real chrome!

·         So easy to use!

Wow! That's some cool stuff Lane. I've tried about every chrome 'paint' there is but it's all just silver. But ouch! That's some pricey stuff.

I think it would be better to send the hubcaps off to the chrome shop. I'm always skeptical about chrome in a can products. For $ 20 I would take a chance, but for $ 200 there is no way.

Has anyone gone to have things powder-coated. I visited a local tire distributor recently and they were offering chrome powder-coat (among other colors as well). They said they do a lot of trucker's rims. The guy before me was picking up some motorcycle parts done in chrome. They looked awesome. When I asked for pricing of small hubcaps. They replied that I had to bring them in for estimate. I haven't been back in that area, well I also keep forgetting to put the hubcaps in my car. Just curious!!!

I had these done in an "aluminum" to chrome powder coating at $80, then did the embossing with paint markers, Jeff.

I saw a vide just the other day on YT where someone painted with a brush onto some sort of rock or something and it went chrome right in the sun int he video. Crazy stuff. it can even be peeled off.

It sounds like a lot of money but a gallon set up of good automotive clear is $200+. So it's right in the ball park of automotive paint.

This is what you are getting for $ 200.

Doesn't look like your getting much for 200 bucks.        Wayne
