Chrome Powder

[jwaldrip]

After I sprayed on the chrome powder and cured it, it came out of the oven really shiny. They I sprayed on the clear and put it back in the oven, this time it is not near as shiny. What did I do wrong?

You did it correctly, that is the way it suppose to look like. I did try Hot Coats new line of reflective chrome. It holds it's shine even with a top clear coat. You might want to look into that.

How many microns do you think you powder film is ? Clear coat powder coat has a tendensy to get yellow or not so bright at high film thickness.
You may try again, putting a little bit less on your subject, it might help.
