    Default Help with a chrome powder that looks as close to chrome as possible

    I am seeking help on which chrome powdercoat to buy and what steps to get it as close as possible to looking like chrome. Please be specific in your instructions. Once again please be specific and give as much info as possible. i.e. polishing the clear which clear and everything

    Different coaters like different chromes. I prefer one from PBTP. But, what ever chrome you use needs to be cleared and will take away from the finish (dull it) and all the polishing in the world will not improve it. But the best I have got it was shooting Acrylic clear on it.
    Who says you can't teach an ole dog new tricks?

    Nothing is ever goin to look like real chrome. I'm pretty happy with the results I've gotten but side by side there would be a world of difference
