What is Spray Chrome?
Spray chrome is a process that combines pure silver that has the genuine look of triple plate chrome and all the protection of a high solids HD 2K clear coat! Using this combination allows us to chrome anything that can be painted such as plastic, fiberglass, carbon fiber and all metals even pot-metal. The benefits compared to triple plate chrome are endless – No rusting, no pitting, no flaking and no oxidizing! Designer Chrome is guaranteed not to yellow, peel or fade!
