MLC Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Used this when they called it mirra-chrome a few years back. It's certainly got the right shade and reflectivity of chrome but for me lacked a little on the actual defenition of the reflection. That last part is all down to how good you can get the basecoat black, if you can do a mirror finish then the killer chrome spray will look pretty much like the real thing.

Whitesupraboy2 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Trust me Im preping like its going out of fashion. The prepping is weird. You actually spary it black and then put laquer on top! so you have to make it really glossy and smooth first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 it says Always apply KILLER CHROME over a high gloss substrate using a light "dusting" action. so no good on dull black surfaces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dini_the_owl Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 personally i didnt like the finish,tried it with grey and white primer and it came out more like a silver than chrome...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Dug out a pic i did, wasn't on a mirror finish or anything but not bad without any instruictions on use that looks very good for a can finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLC Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 that looks very good for a can finish It didn't come in as a can, was a 1/4 pint bottle so used an airbrush to apply. Goes a long way too, still have 90% left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Right jist of it guys, dont buy it. Its too difficult to work with. First time i put too much on I could tell instantly as it started getting duller. Second time too little. I can see the potential that if you get it right it will look great but my advice is if you want to spray parts just spray with cans from halfords or get it done professionally. the guy who sprayed in that video must of been doing it along time!! thats all im saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 not good.... Wonder if it can be sourced in tin form, rather than can - as my dad's really quite handy with his compressor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
