XChris1632X Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 just wondering if anyone here is into any kind of custom painting. or anyone good in our area. im just getting into it, i have some work and i have pics but i dont have a host for them. im working with a company now about chroming non metal parts. its actually not chrome but has a very comparable shine, if not better and you can apply to anything you can basecoat paint. and yes they have already painted whole cars and yes it looks like shit. but i want to try some wheels. id like to see what the chrome paint looks comparable to real chrome and the difference in price. Plus it would be a lot lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridenred27 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 alsa (sp) corp is who you are talking about right. they have some real cool stuff i have seen the chrome paint they sell in person and it does have some appeal but i have to agree it does look crappy on large flatter surfaces but on small parts and parts with a lot of sharp r changing angles to reflect i belive it would look very good. i should be doing a 90 mustang convertable top trim with that paint i hope it works out.

XChris1632X Posted March 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 well im in PA at wyotech right now im painting in refinishing. i did the crazer tonight and it came out decent the place didnt have as bright of colors in stock as i wanted but i made it work. ill be doing crytal fx and candies monday. their pearl basecoats are bad ass and the speed clear is even more bad ass and best of all their products are very compatable and work well with other companys. PPG in the case. i mixed the base coat with ppgs 885 reducer, used ppg dcu 2042 speed clear on one, used ppg sealer, and it came out quite nice. the crazer is a lot like everyone elses version of marbalizer in their pictures they just texture it with other objects than saran wrap. I used latex gloves and swirled it around and it flowed quite well. in my opinion the crazer is better than marbalizer because it seems to have a lot more pigments with much more defined look, it flows alot better and carries a real marble effect, and comes ready to spray rather than having to worry about mixing. so far i am sold and 100% satisfied with alsa corp.
