Painting over chrome

<< < (2/4) > >>

or just powdercoat it. etch primer is good tho, but not as strong as powder, an with that you just need to take off the flakey bits.

gt0733:
i wanted a set of chrome forks powdered but the fella i asked to do it said the powder dosn't go well on the chrome long term. so i thought i'll be putting them through the oxalic acid treatment, then etch primer and paint instead. if i screw it up i'll just start again. try it yourself othomas2 and you'll get heaps of self satisfaction plus confidence to do more.

if you want a real finish. 150 quid on a compressor and spray set. standox 2-pack and A GAS MASK(important is the gasmask, due to 2 pack paint being based on a poison) you can do candy and clear coats like a pro with a little practice.
