What is the best way to get chrome paint that peels?
It is no surprise that technology has changed the world of automotive paint. There are many ways to personalize your car, whether you want a complete respray or a dip. Fonzie from DipYourCar shows you what you can do with peelable chrome paint.
We must mention, before we begin, that these unusual paint schemes are highly contested in automotive. The operation itself is fascinating, even if you don’t care about semantics.
The quality of the base coat is crucial for this particular system. It will affect the clarity and intensity of the chrome. After the first layer of chrome has been applied, it can then be sanded or polished to achieve the mirror-like appearance you’d expect from chrome. The BMW M3 shown in this video begins with a concourse-level black layer of autoflex, which is then covered by the special chrome pigment.
This is not like Plastidip’s DIY-friendly products. It is a professional product that masks and sprays the car. However, you could achieve the same result for less money. The final result can be almost identical to a professional respray with traditional automotive paint after just a few coats.
Fonzie quickly clarified that there is a special clear coat that can be used with the chrome finish. Any other product would cause the paint job to look distorted. We’d be shocked if these peelable paint products weren’t made more easily in the future.
