1) Wow!
2) What is the base material?
3) What base materials can you use?
4) Is the base material prep the same as regular paint?
5) Wow!
6) What colors does it come in?
Sent by the random thoughts from the voices in my head...

Nice job Dave :goodjob:

Most of all of those pieces look too big for a car? are they for a display of some sort?

Man I wish I had spent the money on the Spectra Chrome system years ago.
I wanted to get into that stuff.
Your not using Spectra system though your using the other one, I be leave your system is supposed to be better isn't it? Did you ever try The Spectra system ?

Ok, so black base. 2K I'd guess.

And then the gold colour? But not like the ones I've seen that need water?

When it goes on it looks a little light but the last pic I can see a little peel, so that one is cleared and that darkens the colour a tad?

Looks good anyway and would be a zillion times cheaper than plating.

Now, where can I get it?

Anything

2k primer finished in 800-1200
5) Wow!
6) What colors does it come in?

I custom make the colors with either Vibrance dye or HoK KK kandy

Its the Chrome Basecoat is blackish

yeah it is the water system

When it goes on it looks a little light but the last pic I can see a little peel, so that one is cleared and that darkens the colour a tad? The peel is from the chrome basecoat, kandy, and clear,

Looks good anyway and would be a zillion times cheaper than plating.

Ta mate. Looks like they have some kind of presence here. Time to do some investigation.
