andym85 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Figured i would start a new topic about this...the link is below, and the chrome painting starts at about 5:40 into the video he is painting a set of foose chrome wheels black... http://www.spike.com/full-episode/wheels-chrome-block/33168 I also took the liberty of writing down each step...so here ya go! Step 1: Spray with break cleaner - wipe off excess and blow out crevices Step 2: Clean with an amonia based glass cleaner Step 3: Sand with a red scotch brite pad (tape off areas to be protected) - 120+ grit sandpaper will also work, anything less will sand thru the chrome http://www.tcpglobal.com/3m/ItemDetailKit....o=DUR%20SP-7447 Step 4: Apply reducer to cloth and clean area http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/itemde...no=PPG+DT860-QT Step 5: Mask/tape off area to be protected from paint (if doing wheels, tape off back of wheel to protect from overspray) Step 6: Spray 1 coat of House of Kolor APO-1 Adhesion Promoter, let dry for 10 minutes -its clear, just make sure its a very thin and even coat http://www.tcpglobal.com/hokpaint/hokadhereto.aspx Step 7: Spray 1 coat of PPG DP90 Sealer, let dry for 30 minutes -use the NON-ETCHING sealer (an etched sealer works against the APO-1 Adhesion Promoter) (i believe the dp90 is a black sealer, which he used because he was painting the rims black...so choose ur sealer based on ur color needs) (not sure if this is the etched or non-etched stuff.... http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/ksppgprime.aspx ) Step 8: Spray 1 coat of base paint, let dry for 20 minutes Step 9: Spray 2 coats of clear ENJOY!! He uses a LPH 80 spray gun in the video, small gun for more mobility and less build-up! http://www.tcpglobal.com/spraygundepot/LPH80.aspx And just so you all know, I am clueless when it comes to painting...so i have no personal experience....just took down notes while i watched the video...so dont hold me accountable...lolz!! i likes me some audio stuff...

cwebbatya Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 I love your avatar "may03lt" lol Do you like punk girls? painting chrome is not tough at all with some wet sanding. What screws up chrome is the look of uneven spray paint. Thats why chrome usually looks like ass when it is spray painted. But if you wet sand it to get that uneven-ness out of it, it will turn out. And don't forget to clear coat it with lots of wet sanding too. I learned how to paint chrome a long time ago when I was messing around with painting alloy wheels chrome to make people think they were chrome. I thought i was going to be rich. LMAO p.s. a tutorial or sticky is not worth shit unless there are pics MANNNNNNN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
