Default Re: Extreme Chrome...

Extreme Chrome needs a clear coat to protect it from UV's. In doing that you will loose some of the chrome look as in kind of smoky. I have used it quite a few times and there is a trick to it. Look at the top of this forum for the thread on extreme chrome and follow it to the letter. It will amaze you how it comes out. It requires a little more work, but turns out nice. Also you might want to consider a single stage chrome. There are several around. But none of them will ever replace the real thing. It's just cheaper and looks pretty good.
