Hello group. Anybody having a difficult time achieving good finish with the chromex product? I'm trying to coat my friend's exhaust for his quad. Three pieces.....canister, pipe and small elbow. Followed the instructions to the "T".
Blast parts....pre-heat....cool....paint with hvlp....20min dry....cook at 500 for 1 hour....steel wool-0000.....buff.
I have now done all three pieces at least 3 times each trying to get a smooth finish. The finish is alwalys texturized no matter what I do unless I put a heavy enough coat of chromex on and then DA or hand sand part with 500-1000 grit paper before buffing.
A few times durring the cure cycle, the cromex displayed cracks in the coating and then peeled away durring buff. Of course, I had to start all over.....again!
Well, I give up! I've done the parts so many times, there is very little chromex left out of the 1 quart container. Wondering If this is a bad batch or something.
I may try to convince him to go with high temp powder instead.
Right now, I have too much time invested with poor results to use this product.
Any ideas is appreciated. Thanks group.
