Dupli-color chrome spray paint

I got this idea from bowtiebadboy when he had mentioned this paint in one of his videos. Over the years I was very disappointed with a number of companies who claimed to have chrome spray paint. This Dupli-color is the best I've seen and I just wanted to share. Alclad and Spaz Stix and others are likely better and nothing beats real plating (vacuumizing of aluminum by chrometech), but for a cheap solution that's pretty darn cheap, this is the way to go. I'll be persueing this further with sealers and I'll share more info as I experiement.

how long does it take to cure? i dont like the smell of spraypaint. Also can you gloss over top to make it even more shiny?

[ToppervisionEnt]

@Rhaabjorn Most gloss coats will actually dull this paint out to grey so don't try it. I haven't completely experimented with gloss coats but a varnish will probably work.

what primer do you use? 

[ToppervisionEnt]

@DaBoogie049 Oh yea, I'm not using primer here. But I should to avoid the crazing. Just a black base coat.

krylon chrome paint has a decent finish to it as long as you dont try and clear over it

when I bought it I went through the garage looking for victims

ended up painting an xbox, my 100lb roller, a hammer, a windex bottle, and a shoe

lol

In my opinion it just looks cheap better off saving you money and getting it diped

prop dont need primer, but if you spray some plastic adhesion promoter prior to the black base, would prob turn out better with little to no etching or shrinkage

[MrTBone412]

Say if you wwere painting something would it affect the chrome if you put clear coat on after or even put it between the black gloss and chrome???

@ 3:52 thats so illegal.

[darnthatman81]

you should try the graffiti brands of chrome alot´cheaper and much better opacity one coat no ptimers no cost(they are so low pressure and high pigmentetion that 1 can of chrome could cover almost 6 square meters) just a tip
