Single-stage "Chrome" powder, who makes it?

On the chrome, not the clear.

Clears are the most susceptible to over curing by time and temp so you should never do it. Most other powders can be over cured by 100% (in time)without issue. I just shot some sample panels with PBTP Patent Ultimate Chrome and then cleared with SD Crystal Clear and there is little noticable differance. It may take up to 2 years for the chromes to start to oxidize, but they will show fingerprints and smudges that will need to cleaned often. I'm still waiting for a test of Chromes that have been waxed.
