Xtreme Chrome + Candy Gold?

[UrineMachine]

I am planning on buying Xtreme Chrome and Candy Gold as a top color. Can anyone recommend finishing procedures? My friend who did the coating for my parts has the Hotcoat setup. Will it provide enough power to do this type of finish?

candy gold over chrome plating looks nice . over polishing also but over extreme or near chrome it looks more like a butterscotch color not very nice i my opinion

What is the best procedure for applying it? I will be doing it over xtreme chrome using an Eastwood kit. Any recommendations?

Fully cure the xtreme. Some will let the part cool to room temp before the Candy Gold and some will shoot it at about 150 degrees, your choice (maybe a few test pieces are in order). If you can turn down the voltage for 2nd coats, do it. Make sure you have a good ground.

Thanks very much. Also, maybe I am an idiot but I cannot find "clear coat" on Caswells site. Additionally I tried to order product but it said Transaction Failed. Hrmph.
