Just wondering where I went wrong

[brockboy]

I'm new to the PC'ing world and have been wanting to try some of the extreme chrome powder. The pics I've seen of the results have been really nice. So I ordered and received the powder. I shot my first piece of aluminum with it and let it cure at the exact temp that it said and it came out more of a silver than a chrome look. I tried putting it on as thin as I could but with the same result. I'm using a PC gun from craftsman and PBTP extreme chrome. In the 2nd pic it looks gray or silver. The 1st pic you can see the reflection of the pillow with the beads shining. Both pics are of the same piece just taken at a different angle. Is there anything you guys can suggest me to try for a better result. Thanks for any reply.

That second one look to be about right. No powder looks as good as real chrome. PBTP has the best chrome around.

Extreme Chrome does have a blueish tint, if you want the closest to chrome, it must be Ultimate Chrome .... if you have any questions regarding any of the products and recommendations, please contact the office for guidance, we are always happy to give full disclosure of the best products for the finish you need.

Having used the single stage chrome, bonded chrome & now the ultimate chrome, there is no doubt that the ultimate is the closest to a chrome colour there is. We also use the acrylic clear with the chromes.

Welcome to the forum brockboy! I too like the Ultimate Chrome I think you will too. I agree with smashing the second one looked awesome. Good job. I also use the Craftsman gun so if I can help holler.
Goodluck and don't be suprised when you get hooked like the rest of us.
