How To Paint Over Chrome

[@nearheaven5311]

That bumper looks more "factory" painted white, especially with that white lip that is on top of the bumper. Great job!!!

[@nuclearbum9858]

[@jeremyoshea7941]

Very nice shop! Clean, organized! And great content

[@semperfi1566]

Wow, you are a true professional. That looks awesome!

[@doglegjake6788]

i restored a old vintage chainsaw and the plastic carry case was plastic and full of oil , i took the carry case to the car wash and cleaned it good it was full of bar oil ,, it was textured so i couldnt sand it , i sprayed it with some bulldog and i couldnt belive how good the paint stuck to that plastic , i even took it back to the car wash to test it and not one flake came off under high pressure that stuff is amazing ... bulldog is my favorite for sure on plastic , i hope that info helps you out bro !

[@calebcaldwell4690]

Excellent job!!!! Been thinking about buying some primered bumpers because I didn’t think you could effectively paint over chrome. I stand corrected! Again, excellent work!!!!

[@PHARRAWAY]

No problem 👍

[@juanluissandoval506]

​@@PHARRAWAY hello. Do you by chance know how this job held up. Im in the process of painting my bumper and grill right now. Thanks in advance

[@CFish-N-Cars]

Just some advice from one painter to another. You may have wanted to use 80 grit then step it up to 220 or 320 DA to sand down the Chrome then maybe the adhesive promoter (not sure if it makes that much of a difference when dealing with chrome) then use self Etching

[@PHARRAWAY]

Awesome will try it

[@rikityrik]

Hey, I enjoyed watching your video. You have a great talent! Thanks for sharing with us, and the truck turned out beautifully👌🙏

[@kamilomar9134]

Excellent preparation and spraying - it looks like a factory bought part

i learned this trade back in 1990's in voacational school, iam thinking getting back into it again, anyways the paints and undercoats have changed alot, but thats cool no biggie, good tips as always.

[@Raider_Robert]

Isnt apoxy primer better for chrome?

[@damensutherland7081]

​@Raider_Robert i just sprayed some epoxy on chrome I sanded decreased and put a torch on it to get out all moisture and it did not stick well it would flake off with wire wheel

[@MrRoman-lo6ih]

2:30 I dont know why but I really like that sanded look on the chrome

[@rapfactor1]

yeah i sanded my chrome down before painting and it defintely looked better than shiny chrome. more a brushed aluminium look, nice and soft. no harsh reflection like chrome. but i sprayed black and looks much better

[@GradexAxGuy]

Literally got the notification during a meeting and got called out for not paying attention 😂😂😂😂😂

[@hunkydude322]

i've notice on these auto body and painting videos lots of folks have thier own way of doing these tasks, anyways, Clint Eastwood once said, opinions are like asso;s everyone has one, great job as always, lots of folks also tell me you can't do it like that or this, but i prove them wrong, i don't listen to knuckleheads.

[@three27sbable]

I to would love some info on this, the only stuff I have seen is that crazy water/chrome application, cool but you need a different setup than regular painting. Another cool cat a subscribe to is “custom spray mods” and he used a chrome product that looked great on a helmet,I will try to find it.

[@dbaird8784]

Chrome is hard like stainless steel. I sand stainless with 80 grit before spraying it with etch primer.

On the adhesion promotor do you have to mix or just simply spray on? Also how and what did you mix your sealer with?
