here, this link should help explain what I just said a little better.

Make note of the bottom graph where they did a test comparison against vacuum formaed metalization and a "silver paint" and basically had the same effect. The keen eye will notice that "silver paint" is VERY much like the Silvaspray we have here on the Caswell site. Things that make ya go hmmmmm, eh? Maybe that will spark a few ideas for some of you. Vacuum formed metalization ( very costly machines and processes) or Silvaspray ( extremely cost effective and available to the hobbyist at this very site). Kinda makes you wanna investigate where they use this process and go after a little of this business now,huh? lol. The charts don't lie, folks..... tests have shown that for quite a few purposes, they are one in the same in a few cases. Think of the possibilities you can offer yourself as a hobbyist, if not your customers (if you are at that level). Hey... I have this plastic trim.... can you refinish it? Can you refinish it and powder coat a clear on it? Can you not only powder coat a clear on it, but put one on with a candy tint or metallic flake?? The answer is yes. Of course... my question for you all now is..... did I spark any new business ideas for any of you,hummmm? lol. As always, I hope this helped somebody out there..... Russ
