Tinting a chrome finish?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Amaverick, Nov 27, 2010.

  1. Several years ago a friend showed me a paint kit he bought from the states which went over chrome to tint it. Sort of like a translucent candy with a clear finish coat. It must have been a special kinda paint as I believe ordinary candy wouldn't stick to chrome that well.

    Does anyone know what this kit might have been and where I might get something like this?

    I want to tint some chrome smoothies gold, Internet search has not got me anywhere, but I reckon someone here will have the scoop.:D

    Google "Spray on Chrome" and "Spray on Chrome Tint' and info appears.

    transluscent powder coat would be the way to go for durability
    this was a burnt orange over a chrome powder on a valve cover and one of my chrome sockets for a color reference for later.
