You can use the all powders on anything that will not exced 400 degrees. So yes but you may loss a little around the exhaust ports.. But not much that I ever noticed..

well i just got donw doing a few parts,
and sprayed the Extreme chrome, cured at 395, for 15 min, let cool then sprayed a thicker coat of clear then cured for 20 min,pulled it out and the sweet chrome had turned in to a mirror silver or the like,
should i make sure i fully cure the 1st coat? what did i do wrong any input would be great
thanks,
Jesse

With the chrome powders you must fully cure the chrome powder before the clear top coat. As Jim stated in the first post let the extreme chrome cool all the way down to room temperature the coat with clear. I have done this with super chrome and exterme chrome with great results. The silver effect is definately from under cure I have done the same thing myself.

Does any one clear work better than another?

Ok, I got my pound each of Xtreme and Super Clear in the mail today and am ready to shoot some parts. However, when I read the write-up by Hvac36, it says "Now Cure at 375 for 30 mins,", but the can of Xtreme says 392 for 30 min. If I bake at 375, will it cure or is this reduced temp part of the "Magic" to prevent the clouding and greying?
Just read the can of clear and it also says 392 for 30. So.... heat the Xtreme back to 150, coat, and then to "the required time" for clear? 392 or 375? Doh!!! (scratching head)

BTW thanks for the write-up Hvac36, I'm sure it has helped many get the results they wanted! I, on the other hand, am easily confused and slow!!!
