Polishing chrome PAINT?

[AmznAzn]

Do you guys think it is possible or if there is a way to polish chrome spray paint? Like:


Usually it comes out duller then whats actually on the cap.

Not really. If you polish it you end it just removing it.

There is no such thing as "chrome" in a spray can. Chroming is done over a process of "dipping" parts in a sequence of baths like acid wash, nickel, and chrome. It's a plating that is applied using a combination of positive and negative charges to attract the plating to the part.

There are companies that make a professional grade spray products that allow you to achieve a "chrome" look, which I've seen pictures of on high end Italian cars in Dubai. There's a lot to the process though, and if you don't have the right equipment you cannot do it. It's also expensive.

closest you will be able to get is if you put a few good coats of clear over it then buff and polish the clear.

Man has a point. Chrome in a can does not work, EVER.

It's just really shiny silver.

It also helps when you use the right base coat to get the paint to pop!

Why not just polish whatever it is you are trying to make look like that spray can cap?

[WhiteShift]

why try to make garbage like that...

this is what i have do on my car:



these 4 pieces,i have almost put 20hours of polishing for all...

this look like chrome, but i think is better because is hand made...

this is the cheap way to geat great result....

euh... i know metal radiator pin are metal not aluminum, so i have clearcoat them...

look like a charm...

if you want great result, you have lot of patience do it, otherwise go to a shop and make chrome bath on it.

they have places that do the real chrome paint like they did with the crx on pimp my ride a long time ago. for plastic parts or non removable metal parts, thats your only option. for metal parts you have to get it either nickle plated or chrome plated for it to look anything worth talking about.
