Prismatic Super Chrome + is by far the best Chrome on the market.Its very bright even after the clear.
Hobbyist here, I’m somewhat sadly encouraged that I’m not the only person wasting money and time on horrible “Chrome” powders. Please update if you ever come across something a little more chrome appearance for people with normal vision!
Thanks Again
I hate chrome too lol No matter what chrome, every time, the clear ruins it imo. I always explain it to the customer and show them a sample.
That must be the biggest cloud i’ve ever seen
Check out our memberships on CZcams and Patron.
Another good lesson learned, Thank you for the money shot......
interpon chrome silver 2 is probably the best
Have you tried the metal filled filler like JB Weld as filler on heavily pitted parts to smooth for coating?
The 400 degree oven for 20 min would probly make JB weld crumble
Big boy powder coat filler is high temp but I've seen people get good results with kemy metal too
Still has a milky look but not as milky as prismatic. Can't expect an equal between powder and real nickel chrome though. The only chrome I'll do from now on is under a color. Thankfully I'm more of a hobbyist with powder. I try to stick to my profession of weld/fabrication and leave the powder to the pros
Serious powder cloud!
Right, Air was at 2.8 and Powder Air at 2.8, wild how much was coming out....Also our filters were full, so right after this we cleaned them out.
Can I use Hi temp JB weld to cover the pitting in old parts.. Kinda like the old days when we bondo filler?
we have a few times...just make sure its smooth before coating.
One thing I'm not understanding, once you spray the chrome, do you bake the chrome on and then do the clear? Or should the clear be sprayed on before any baking?
Can you erase the question before getting see it.....please
Good question, I would have thought you would get a straight answer 🤷♂️
The chrome has to be at least partially cured. The clear protects the chrome so you want the chrome to flow out first. I am a beginner and have only shot candy over chrome and haven't tried clear yet, but have read enough and watched enough videos to answer the question......of course there is always someone who can get away with doing things different than most.
I can't help but notice the massive amount of powder going straight to the filters. Looks like you are using at least twice the pressure I use. I'm usually around 4psi to 6psi and it's a full load with only about 10% or so lost to the filter. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. VEVOR pot system with fluidizer.
We adjust out air settings all the time. We were high here. But if we want to paint fast we will crank them, paint slow or detailed lower them. What costs more labor or powder waste? No one right way or wrong way.
It’s not perfect (as expected) but aye it looks pretty good
Don't you coat over old powder? We don't ever strip stuff but the stuff ur doing there seems to need to be pretty flawless is why u would strip it? If there was a wrong color situation, u wouldn't just spray the right color over it?
It's much better to spray directly on the metal surface.
cool vid. What would you estimate the amount of powder you guys go through a year?
Not much prob in the 3 to 5k lbs
@@RightNowPowderCoating wow. Seems like a lot 3-5k lbs a year! I was just curious as to what a average sized, full time powder shop ran through a year.
Thanks for the info keep it up.
I don’t get how people hate chrome. It’s just shiny metal? You prefer dull metal? Like…what
Or is it just because powder coated chrome doesn’t really work that well?
Is okayyyy.
so on the handles how what do you use to make them work after being powdered. Does the powder plug the moving parts?
we try not to get too much powder in there, they may stick but usually break free.
How do you guys keep hangers clean so you get a good ground?
I’m not them but I run it through the whole strip process. Dip in the stripper then blast it. Also u can clean the hook after you sprayed powder before you pop it in the oven to help keep it clean.
We strip them in our Greensolv tank, they come out really clean and really no rust, so we rinse and use them. No longer have to blast like with b17 and rim strip.
Looks more like polished aluminum
Approx how much does a pound of extreme bonded chrome if you buy a 25 pound bag ?
Could do a A380 with all that Lol
Question. Can water based clear be used over chrome to keep the shine ?
I assume you mean solvent l, and it can be used, but still dulls it....I tried
Is that electric charged powder coat or normal
Charged. Unless parts are heated or charged, powder will not attract to the part. 👍
@@leeghathaway Thanks
Hi there,
have you tried using powder coating paint from china, can you recommend a good kind of powder coating paint from china if there is any.
I have not sorry
Where did you get the big oven?
columbia coatings
Is it more reasonable than prismatic
I thinks so, this was a sample box so I did not buy it.
Looks good ! I have a question Iam a diy Iam spraying Eastwood chrome and Iam spraying blue over it none of my pieces are the same shade any suggestions? When u have time thank you buddy
need to build consistent base and top coat, too light or too heavy and it changes the looks.
@@RightNowPowderCoating Thankyou I figured it was user error
Cool tip...don't use chrome than try to clear coat....it turns grey
but you gotta clear it
@@RightNowPowderCoating every time I tried clearing chrome it greyed up
To me if I’m gonna test something I wouldn’t do it on the pieces that belongs to a customer and if I do I just do it on one not to all of them,, like on this case you waisted all the time powder coating all this pieces then had to stripped them down !! Just my 2 cents
Do you have to put the clear on it?
Yes you do. After time the chrome looks terrible if you don't.
No matter how you look at it. It looks like your only using about 3 % of the powder that sticks to the parts.
sometime it feels that way....but we dont scoop that much out, id day 10 to 20 percent waste on average. Really depends on powder. videos dont always do us justice.
IFS extreme bonded chrome> all others
In my opinion, if you want chrome buy chrome. Painted chrome is no where near the same.
Need a bigger booth or a skinnier cart. Looks really uncomfortable in there
Or I could just take a break from beer & pizza 🤣
spray chrome is better
Chrome without clear turns brown fast. And chrome powder sucks, it looks to milky like in my opinion
So, best chrome ever is like every other chrome offering? Hmm.
Looks like silver paint
I agree.....
Too much material...
The name of your video is dumb, sounds like you are comparing different chrome (what is the best chrome) change the name of video to ,, open throttle chrome or change the video and compare a few different chrome paints.
Looks wack! Doesn't come close to actually what chrome looks or shins like
I kind of agree, and think you have to look at the big picture of a project. If there is real chrome nearby, forget PC chrome, but if you just want something shiny and silver it is OK. I haven't cleared over chrome yet, just used it under candy powders. Ultimate Chrome looks decent on it's own but still not as clear as real chrome. I wonder how the chrome compares to the silver colors out there, which I also haven't used as I am just a beginner. Maybe a solid or metallic silver would look better for contrast even if it isn't close to real chrome. Silver wheels look like they were meant to be that way vs. a sorry attempt at a real chrome look.
