The chrome paint, if put on correctly, looks great,,until the clear is applied. You cannot spray the chrome like an ordinary paint, must be 'dusted' on very lightly and several passes, just until the black undercoat disappers. Hope I have enough paint left to do the bumper after testing..at $150.00 + shipping,,kinda pricey!!



Just a follow up on this topic. Save your money do NOT buy the Alsa shkit. The spray nozzles on cans are terrible and couldn't find any other nozzle that would fit can. Drips/spits/droplets/3 streams in fan pattern etc come out and ruin the finish. I spent about 4 days getting my fiberglass bumper smoothed up and ready to paint. The base black went on poorly but hoped the clear would shine/smooth it up some,,it didn't. THEN,,I started searching the web for reviews on it,,,all reviews had the same experience I did. Should have looked at reviews BEFORE I bought it!! The Alsa stuff is just like all the other 'spray chrome' stuff...pretty much junk.



Update on Alsa Killer Chrome. After my failed attempt with the Alsa stuff, I cleaned everything off with laquer thinner and started over. Got the bumper smoothed up and under primer again. I then sprayed it with Rustolem gloss black enamel. 1-2 dry 'tack coats' then wetter coat with the final coat WET and shiny smooth. Let it dry good for a few days and then put the Killer Chrome on with several VERY LIGHT passes. I doesn't take much of it to cover the black. I found there is no need to pay $150.00+ for their 'kit'. Just buy the 1 can of Killer Chrome and use cheaper paint for the base. It didn't turn out too bad. Looks more like an older real chrome bumper. Don't know how durable it will be without clear over it, but will find out.
