what psi do you use when spraying it, and do you have to put it over a gloss black base coat, or can it be semi gloss??.....



thanks.....

i know it has to be an enamel gloss black base.
and for psi...use low pressure, 12-15 psi,use a fairly narrow spray width, get in close 2-3”.

btw, here's a pic of what alclad looks like when done properly.

pretty damn good if ya ask me :biggrin:

me and Dag had pretty good results just using automotive paint-gloss black, clear, then Alclad. My problem is that it doesn't take much handling to dull it :angry:

I'm sticking to pro-plating, but Alclad is damn good, cheaper alternative

I think ChrometechUSA.com has a price listing. My plater works something out, trading kits usually. I have shitloads of chromed parts done, but for some reason when I first sent stuff out, I didn't do any exhaust or mufflers, so now I'm stuck waiting for that shit.
