SuperChrome® is the future of spray chrome technology durable enough for exterior applications. The three step process can be performed in any standard commercial paint booth with conventional HVLP spray gun technology.
SuperChrome® uses a patented additive that chemically binds the base coat, the middle silver chromium SuperChrome® coat and the SuperChrome Clear coat to a single hard, durable OEM chrome-like finish that can be safely coat with a high-quality clear and NOT suffer any noticeable dye-back. The final SuperChrome Clear coat can be tinted to achieve a wide range of candy chrome coloured finishes.
SuperChrome® is tough and well suited for North American climates and has characteristics including:
In today's price-sensitive market, SuperChrome® offers a high quality product with all the advantages of its competitors at a much lower price-point. It has significantly lower environmental impact than many of the alternatives available today.
SuperChrome® is durable enough for exterior applications. The simple 3 step process can be performed in any standard commercial paint booth with conventional HVLP spay gun technology.
In addition, the application of a clear coat to other similar products can cause a reaction with the chromium layer that will result in as much as a 20% dye-back of the brilliance to the chrome layer. The results are a less desirable, duller finish.
The SuperChrome® process remains brilliant and shiny because the patented SuperChrome Clear coat that bonds the chrome into an inert single layer that keeps its original brilliance intact.
The SuperChrome® can bond to vast array of materials, adding a shiny and durable chrome-like brilliance to a large variety of substrates including:
When process efficiencies are important, SuperChrome® has full dip and dry assembly line capabilities making it the perfect for high volume, large capacity work flow. See the video titled Immersion Process below
Step 1a: Pre-sand substrate surfaces using standard bodywork techniques. *** Smoother finishes produce better results.***
Step 1b: Pre-prime substrate surfaces using urethane primer Important - Follow manufacturer's instructions for complete drying and finishing allowing all tail solvents to evaporate before proceeding with step #2.
Follow the mix directions on can.
Apply using 24-40 psi with 1.2mm - 1.4mm gun tip
Apply 1 medium wet slick coat, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then apply a second medium wet slick coat.
NOTE:Allow a minimum of 36 hours at 70°F for tail solvents to completely evaporate before proceeding. Longer drying times yields better results!
Force Drying: Allow 2 hours tack dry at 70°F before proceeding to oven.
Metal: 3 to 4 hours at 140°F
Plastic: 3 to 4 hours at 120°F
In the event of any bacteria or contaminants present after the drying process, use scuff gel and scuff pad to lightly remove contaminates, then polish, and remove any excess with a good wax and grease remover. Do NOT use alcohol based cleaners or reducers.
It is not necessary to wet sand the complete surface.
Important! Shake contents in SuperChrome 54X
Apply 2 or 3 coats of SuperChrome - lightly fog on from a distance of 10 inches using a tip size of 0.8mm or 1.0mm at 24-40 PSI of pressure. You have it right if the SuperChrome flashes in 4 to 5 seconds.
Do not apply too many layers of SuperChrome - it will dye back producing poor results.
Use a lint-free cloth or dry-tack cloth along with pressurized air to wipe away dust or over-spray between each coat. DO NOT USE wax based tack cloth.
Allow 5 to 10 minutes between coats to dry
NOTE: Allow approximately 72 hours to dry at 70°F for chrome to cure.
Longer drying times yield better results.
Force Dry in oven:
Metal: 3 to 4 hours at 140°F
Plastic: 3 to 4 hours at 120°F
If SuperChrome does not flash to chrome within 4 to 5 seconds after each coat call for technical assistance.
Unused Chrome can be poured back into tin and stored for future use.
Follow the mix directions on can.
Apply using 24-40 psi with 1.2mm - 1.4mm gun tip
Apply 2 medium wet coats, allowing 20 minutes between coats, to seal chrome. Allow to dry thoroughly - Minimum of 12 hours at 70°F.
Force Drying:
Metal: 3 to 4 hours at 140°F
Plastic: 3 to 4 hours at 120°F
Use standard polishing techniques to increase the brightness of the chrome.
The SuperChrome Clear Coat can be tinted to achieve a candy-chrome effect.
