Number one hack is drying the basecoat.
Step 1: Your part must be prepped and primed before beginning application. The surface should be very
smooth.
We say mirror in mirror out.
Step 2: Start by applying our Easy Chrome Basecoat, this basecoat is made exclusively for Easy Chrome.
You will need this Basecoat in order for the Chrome to work. Once you apply, 1 coat basecoat must be
very glossy, like a very wet look.
***DRY TIME: Air Dry your part 4 days. This is crucial. minimum of 75 degrees THROUGHOUT the 4 days/ if you oven Dry your part 10-12hrs+ 140F
The basecoat needs to FULLY CURE so not just dry.
Any out gassing during cure time will blur the chrome. Especially the 2k basecoats.
***NOTE: The Dryer your part the better your chrome will turnout.
Many wait a week or more. Especially the 2k paints.
Step 3: Begin applying your Easy Chrome, this can be done by Brush, Spray Gun or Aerosol!
***DRY TIME: Air Dry your part 4hrs+ minimum of 80°F THROUGHOUT the 4hrs+
If applying by Brush, dip your brush into the chrome and begin to do very light strokes on your part. Any
chrome that drips off your brush or part can be collected and reused right away. Continue this until you
get the desired finish.
If applying by spray gun, begin by lightly dusting the chrome on your part, Flash 10-15 sec. Apply air to
the chrome for a faster turn.
If applying by Aerosol, spray a very light coat. One light coat will be enough to get your chrome.
***NOTE: Topcoat is not needed if your piece won’t be constantly rubbed with hand oil.
