Chrome FX Pump System

How to Apply (Application Steps)

Congratulations! You have just purchased the most unique, do-it-yourself, home chroming

system available anywhere. While this application can take a little practice to get really good

at, if you follow these steps carefully, with a little practice, you should be able to create a

mirror finish on nearly anything you can imagine.

PATIENCE is the key. PATIENCE WILL CHROME ANYTHING.

Failure at any point in the application will result in TOTAL failure of the entire application, and

it will need to be re-started from the beginning, including the base coat.

PLEASE NOTE: This “Pump System” is intended for small items only. 6 inches in diameter

or smaller.

Surface preparation:

The preparation of your surface is extremely important to this process. This finish requires an

EXTREMELY smooth surface, in order to achieve 100% reflectivity. The farther away from a

glass smooth surface you have, the less reflectivity will be achieved.

If you part is ALREADY PAINTED, you do not need to prime it. Simply sand it with 1000-1200

grit sand paper, or lightly scuff it with a grey 3M Scotch Brite

1 Always apply paints in a well-ventilated area, and wear a NIOSH approved respirator

to avoid breathing any fumes.

2 Make sure you have good conditions for spraying. The best temperature for spraying

this paint, is 75-80 degrees F, and VERY low humidity.

3 Prepare and prime your part first. Epoxy primers are best for bare metal, and primer

surfacers are best for plastics, fiberglass, or wood. Some plastics may require an

adhesion promoter but most plastics, like ABS plastic, are fine without adhesion

promoters. Our tech support department can assist with what primer is best, if you are

uncertain.

4 Before applying your primer, remove all dirt, grease, oil, salt, and chemical

contaminants, by washing the surface with a commercial detergent, or other suitable

cleaning method.

5 Rinse with fresh water and allow to completely dry.

6 Remove any existing loose paint, or rust, etc, with a wire brush or sand paper.
