AZ Fisher Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 I just saw on FB, on the Lure Making and Painting page, a guy named Dan Schwartz posted how he painted and cleared his chrome, and products he used. Best looking chrome I have seen to date, really pops and the clear doesn't dull the shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Moreau Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 The times I tried Molotow it dulled with a top coat and i tried a few. I never tried the Alclad so maybe its time for some testing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21xdc Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 I tried this before and it dulled. I was hoping it was something that worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azsouth Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Temperature and humidity might come into play. Most people are reluctant to give up their exact procedures to get desired finish. Missing a single step can end bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastman03 Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 I know this has been posted before (by me), but Engineered angler does a good breakdown of different methods to get a chrome base. Check it out. There are several Videos from true silver plating to rattle can chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
