Default Re: can you polish copy chrome??

Dan,

Copy Chrome will plate onto Silvaspray and can be buffed and polished normally either by hand or with light pressure on a wheel. Just make sure that your plating thickness is adequate for any machine polishing.

I wouldn't recommend sanding or polishing the Silvaspray directly as it is applied very thin.

To achieve the best results (highly polished Chrome like appearance), you may consider a Copper plate over the Silvespray first, then buff and polish that to the desired luster before going to the Copy Chrome.

Copy Chrome is a considerably harder metal and would take a bit more pressure on the wheel than the Copper would.
