DIY Spray On Chrome

Awesome job...

 

Wow, Sudzhis the tank looks perfect. Did you use tinted clear?

 

Yess, tinted! Without tinted clear tank looks yellow!

 

Far better results than I would have imagined

 

as seen in reality? what score would you give?

 

U mean for petrol tank?

If for silvering- 9.5/10

for prep work - 7/10

For clear coat 9/10

Looks like in video/images- excellent!

 

Good results !!!

 

can You take a picture with varnish you bought? As hardener leads?

 

Hi!
This varnish basically is in 5l cans! I bought 1l to test it! I know that brand is PPG!

What u mean with (As hardener leads?)

 

ratio of hardener- clearcoat?

 

clear coat 100gr
hardener 50gr
solvent 25gr

 

most clear coats have different mixing ratios-----his is 2 to 1 to 1/2

some are 4 to 1
3 to 1

 

not that it looks yellow(depending on clear coat) the issue is that silver has a natural soft look. and Chrome has a bluish tone, and Silver lacks this bluish tone, to see the difference take a small mirror and place it next to a similar sized Chromed piece(real chrome) and you will see the difference in tone

 

U are right nicamarvin, but silver mirror looks much better than chrome! It is in my eyes But yes, target is chrome,,,,

 

well thats correct. Silver is the most reflective metal in the universe. meaning that the perfect mirror will out reflect(shine) the best perfect chrome piece.. thats why normal spray on chrome can be as reflective if not more than real chrome. now to the issue of tone. to me it looks like stainless steel(highly polished)

 

that looks awesome!!! Im going to try this on my peanut gas tank see what happens

 

U talk about petrol tank?

maybe it is a little to white, but a little! In sun even real chrome stays much whiter than in room!

This petrol tank is in my friends workshop and it saw lot of people and all think this is real chrome!

nice.. loving the videos

 

Sudzhis
Really looks good. Are you using non tinted clear first and then using tinted clear to cover the yellow like Nicamarvin does?

My pieces still turn yellow or come out to dark. I hope I can find the secret formula like you did.

 

Hi!

yess, start usual clear coat, later tinted OR if piece is simple, than u easy can use tinted clear for the start!

VERDICT

Next time i will do it much better! It looks good, but is some errors, but they are technical- with air pressure, with air filters, with with with! This is large project and it is hard! Big problem was light i need much much better light to do it right!

After varnish i get some strange errors in some places, but will see tomorrow when hood will be dry

p.s. sorry about images/video quality- my phone is under hard varnish coat ha ha ha ha

 

Today i take more pictures, but with much better photo camera!
But seems i am there alone, and my posts dont read no one, and than i have no reason to spend my time here!

 

wow... nice work, thats one Big Mirror you made out of the hood...

 

that hood looks great in the photos , the pair of silvered shoes cracked me up for some reason ,
