KL primer to the rescue! Here's a bad chromed trans end cover. Choices...send off for dechrome and wait or sand as smooth as poss ( HARD to do with a chrome edge! ) and prime. This is the before and after results after ONE HEAVY coat of KL primer and sanded smooth. I LIKE IT!
can kl primer be covered only using a hobby gun or would i have to hot flock it? lots of guys give me motorcycle parts that are peeling and so far i have been able to convince them to let me shoot it with a wrinkle finish but this looks like an good alternative.
Nice. I just bought some of that. I'm also anxious to see how it works getting outgassing on valve covers under control.
It works with pinholes. Some say they're a type of outgassing, it plugged em up whatever causes them! Pics of that project under "pinholes" on one these 2 forums!

It's just like other powders, if you can "cold shoot" with your hobby gun now, you should be able to coat this cold also.
Did you just apply the primer a little heavier where the chrome was missing? I have some body panels that have some defects in them you can't see till it's powdered. I was thinking of giving the KL a try to see how it comes out.
I was able to "hand pick" some more chrome off so the chrome free spots were a little bigger than the pics, but yes, extra heavy there to smooth out the ridges.
