been on a demo day today with a bloke from from one of my paint suppliers with some """"""CHROME PAINT """"" that goes on anything
its a 14 coat system . when i paint my 1st demo he gave me a polish cloth about 10 seconds after i finished my last chrome coat and said
right now polish it ??? .so i did and i was lost for words AMAZING CHROME OUT OF A SPRAY GUN ..the only down side we used a HS lacquer
which takes the chrome affect away a bit .....BUT i think if i try a 1 pak lacquer it might keep its mirror affect
