I do the chrome 15 min @ 395, then let tool to just below 200, shoot lolly colors, then bake another 15 min @392. Xtreme chrome is 30 min @ 392, and lolly is usually 400 for 10, so 392 for 15 is just fine.

I shoot just extreme and clear the same way too. It helps keep the chrome shiny to shoot it hot. Less time for the aluminum in the powder to oxidize.

the extreme chrome came out really good but when i tried to coat the candy color it did not want to stick, i sprayed the part @ just under 200, and i tried to spray it lightly but its difficult to get little tight areas without spraying the surrounding areas, any tips for this?

this is the mess i made.

At just under 200, The lolly should have melted on contact. If you were using a IT temp gun, then the chrome will give a false reading. Usually it reads cold though. I have found that with lolly powders, it's very hard to get smooth coverage. Blue seemed to be the hardest to get a nice light even coverage. Been a while since I sprayed Blue, but I am getting pretty familiar with Red LOL

Latest item. Skidoo engine head. I took a Roloc disk on the air grinder to remove the powder from the fins and give the scruffed look
