I dabble a little in spray chrome.

give me a quick detail on process ?

this is for your xbox piece ?


Using epoxy primer the way that I described I was going to try to use it is not going to work. I am now going to use a regular 2k high build primer.

I was having a hard time getting the textured surface sanded flat, so I was going to try to spray epoxy thick so it would mostly level out. It would take way too many coats to do this.

I'm just going to scuff, spray adhesion promoter, spray high build, sand this, then spray clear over this prior to chroming process.
