Using a 3-step, water-based spray application process, the ChromeFX™ spray system will place a highly durable coating of real metal on almost any substrate without using any toxic metals. This coating duplicates the look and feel of real chrome and can be further customized to replicate precious metals such as gold, silver, brass, etc..
Please see the Technical Data Sheets for detailed information on each step of the application process.
