The blue chrome looks awesome in your photos. I would think that reds and yellows would be good, since they are both somewhat transparent. and yellow might make a dazzling gold - gold shock absorbers on a black bike, yum. Will artist oil colors mix into your 2part automotive? They can be a more pur...

since I dont have cany paint dies, I use a few drops of color in the clear to give it a colored chrome look, so far this are the only colors I can produce, I have tried others but they just dont work at all..

What about your contamination problem (oil drops - dirty water drops) with your air supply when using the dual headed spray gun? Erik True, Ive been thinking about using the hand triggers on this piece but do the piece in 4 segments, silvering one segment at a time. its gonna take more time but it ...

I could care less about how much you make or don’t make per year. I know there are people on this forum that gross under 20k per year and those that go well beyond 500k.……. I used to earn $500 a month here in Nicaragua, now I may earn a less now but I´m doing what I always wished for.. "Spray ...

Ismael, After seeing your second video. Please promise me that from now on you will protect your lungs and your bare arms better. Eventhough you are handspraying here it still spray tiny molecules of heavy metals and they are or could be very toxic. Erik Thanks Mr, Winkler I promise I´ll protect my...

Very Nice Ismael. Now that you have graduated to the big time what's next? I want to start a small business, my cousing will be racing his motor bike in a few days and I´ll be "chroming" lots of his bike´s parts. as soon as people see this they are going to love it, here in Nicaragua we l...

well guys I graduated from Plastic spoons to motorbike plastic parts... :lol: here is a Motorbike Headlight cover before the "Spray On Chrome"(using Angel Gilding chemicals and wetting agent which helped me alot) Plastic Headlight cover(prep using Krylong Fusion as glue for the base coat, ...

hey guys seems like the folks at Angelgilding(I am a happy customer so far) are now selling dual chambered hand triger sprayers also, this was not the case a while ago when I was building my small DIY Spray On chrome system in january.. its a bummer because I could have seaved a dollar on the bottle...

updates... well I talked to Alsa corp and they are going to be sending me another package, so its going to tak a while before I can test their silvering chemicals(they are 2 stage chemicals now) I was able to silver a few plastic spoons with Angel Gilding silvering chemicals, they turn out very nice...

I want to know how to post youtube videos here..

Silvered Spoons using Angel Gilding chemicals(so far their sensitizer seem to be their weak link, I´ll explain later) the spoons have been cleared with a water based sealer for temporary protection(will later use 2k Clear coat) http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j437/nicalandia/ChromeSpoons1.jpg ht...

Guys I have bad news... I did a sampler of both products just so I get to know them before the big show down.. the samples were done in my favorite testing piece! the "Plastic" spoons.... but guess whats the bad news? alsa sent me the wrong chemicals and they labeled them wrong(I had to us...

I just got my hands on my package(saddly I didnt receive the dripp table from angelgilding) and I will be testing Asla products against AngelGilding products.. here is the face off( I know they dont use this product YET but the chemicals will go thru the Stain Magic sprayer) http://i1085.photobucket...

guys check the video, in the end the guys show how well the silver sticks to the painted surface. he tries to rubbed off and it does not come off at all, he tries a duct tape over it and its not coming off either, I have this effec too and thats why I think I could brush on plate it with copychrome(...

I found a video of a similar product I will be testing, but the way the silver is apply its the same(dual chamber hand trigger sprayer)

Nice

its true.. but its because of the lighting, on the shade I can reflect myself. I guess that sinse its not a real metal and its very thin nature, direct light does not bounce as good as on the shade...
