Is outgassing necessary for real chrome. The sub straight is still pot metal. The chrome is triple copper chrome process..........thick. I wouldn't think that it would be necesssary but I thought I'd ask the experts...........The damn thing is just too slick to hold on to..........I thought I'd shoot a beautiful candy red over it.......

Re: Outgasing for real Chrome
This is one of my personal mics. I know what you mean......it's getting worse all the time. The price of having chrome done is rediculous. I would love to find a chromer nearer to me, but all the small shops that can accomidate my small stuff like this are out of business for the same reasons.Comment

Re: Outgasing for real Chrome
I would just run it through a normal cure cycle to test the chrome. You don't need to outgas chrome at all, so keep your temps in the same range as you'll be coating, then you won't ruin the chrome base. Clean well with prep solvent or denatured alcohol, and you're good to go!Dan

Re: Outgasing for real Chrome
I'd be tempted to try Black Chrome II or Solar Rain on one of your chrome ones instead of a candy. That would be COOL! Have you done one in either of those yet?Dan
