I have something to add to this post as well. Scline74, if you go back and read the many posts about chrome powder, whether the people bought it from here or not, the end result is always the same when using the clear. Hemi-T did some parts he owns in the Reflectra, but he did not clear, maybe you want to check with him and see what he has found it with it. How is it holding up? etc... I have some parts lying around my shop that have no clear on them, I left them this way, just to see if they turn colors. I think the aluminum, again if I am right on this, absorbs moisture or oils from the atmosphere or people touching them. Hence the reason it turns a dull primer color. One piece I have, actually a motorcycle wheel, appears to be more hazy than the day I sprayed it, almost a year ago. The other pieces, which are a different chrome powder, seem to appear the way I sprayed them, about 10 months ago. I can say one thing on any subject you may have, LOOK BACK IN THE PAGES! The question you have may of been answered numerous times before, and may help you make a better judgment of what you may want to do. I am not yelling or downgrading you, just bringing it to your attention. Another thing, I may be wrong with this too, but the guy who sprayed those Air intake tubes, I THINK, said they had no clear on them. Maybe he will chime in and say, the post above the pic mentions nothing about a clearcoat.
