Shooting black chrome II..

[Guest]

I'll be doing a couple of Harley parts in Black Chrome II over OEM chrome. Any suggestions? Just clean it well, coat, and cure? Anything special?

Thanks for any advice!

If the black chrome is a trans or candy, make sure the chrome is as clean and shiney as possible (free of polishing residue of course) before shooting. I did a practice piece of chrome heat shield with trans black and everything and anything showed through...even water spots!

Solid colors like that, you can do a light etching in the sandblaster so the pc can get a good grip on the part and it won't chip off as easy if hit by a big azz bug or a rock. Do the blasting carefully, don't try to take the chrome off ( just dull the shine ) and don't stay too long in one spot or you can make the chrome blister. Then you WILL have your work cut out for you or you'll have to get it chemically stripped.

For a Black Chrome (i.e. Black Chrome II or Solar Rain), which is basically a tinted clear (over REAL CHROME), wash thoroughly with soap and water and remove every trace of fingerprints or any marks with a soft terrycloth towel, then do a quick pass with a propane torch to remove any fuzz or residues, and a final pass with compressed air to remove any fuzz ash from the torch pass. Preheat in the oven to remove any static charge created from the compressed air, allow to cool, and shoot a nice even coat. Your results should look like this.
