To be honest, that looks like the results I get with extreme chrome. Anytime you powder coat a piece of tube like that you will get great results. Less orange peel, and a brighter look. Rounded surfaces come out better than flat surfaces. I'd be willing to bet that if you put that same powder on a flat surface you won't see the same results. JMHO

Is it the round surface or is it chrome just needs a smoother surface?

I've noticed that the tighter the bend, the smoother the coating. You can still get a smooth coating on flat surfaces, but not like on a bend. I usually have problems with chrome powder on flats. I'm still hoping it's the nature of the powder.

Bzer1, who's chrome have you used so far? I am sure many of us would like to hear your results with different chromes!!! We haven't tried them all yet, there are so many available!!!! When we want to try a new powder, we usually try to find an appropriate part to display with it. We have found that customers like looking at parts rather than just looking at 4"X6" sample tags. And we are running out of parts!

In proper observance of the forum rules I will leave out the names of the companies I have purchased from in the past. I will tell you that as I cruise around to different sites where powder is for sale I have found that all of the places I used to shop have gone to new and improved formulas. I have used Poly's in the past and was not excited with the results. They dull quickly but they are quite smooth and very reflective when they come out of the oven. The Extreme chrome is a bit darker than most of the polys, but it's exponentially tougher and will outlast the polys everytime. I don't use chrome as a base for candys so I can't tell you how well it works for that...sorry. In my opinion the extreme chrome is the best chrome on the market for our consumption. I have connections with several junkyards in my area and I go to them when I need practice or display parts. I cut a deal with one of the yard owners, I powder his parts for cost and, he lets me scavange for certain parts. All the parts I take are unusable but good enough for my purposes.

That is a hell of an idea!!!
