Using a 3-step, water-based spray
application process, the ChromeFX™ spray system
will place a highly durable coating of real metal on almost
any substrate without using any toxic metals. This coating
duplicates the look and feel of real chrome and can be
further customized to replicate precious metals such as
gold, silver, brass, etc..
Please see the Technical Data Sheets for detailed information
on each step of the application process.
