A NEW Chrome plating process?

Yes - It was a Ronco product I think.

My guess is it lasts about a month before oxidation and in less then just a few months it looks like garbage.

For the record it's not a new "chrome" process, it's simply a new highly reflective paint process that looks a lot like chrome. The tricky part of applying it properly is the required deionized water system required to get it right, and trust me, it's no walk in the park even for a VERY experieinced painter!

Did you na-sayers look at the video? That dude was just blasting the part with the gun, like water from a garden hose..did not look hard at all. Is the hard part getting the guns set up?

Of course it looks easy in a promotional video.....

Isn't it basically the same as the mirror silvering process and then putting a clear coat over it to protect it? To get the red color like on the wiper motor above you just tint the clear. I've seen copper and brass look plating done that way. Mirrors have to have a protective finish on the back to protect the silvering.

From the web sites for the stuff they imply that it holds up over time as long as the clear coat holds up.
