Colored chrome?

[akmadmaxx]

Has anyone messed around with mixing a colored chrome or is is possible?

right now, Spaz stix has a neat system. It's basically 3 parts. First, you lay down a candy color. It's mostly transparent and comes in like 20 different colors. Then you hit that with 4-5 coats of their regular or mirror chrome and then back it all with water-based black. That gives you a colored chrome appearance. Go to www.spazstix.com to see some demos.

If you go to walmart lol they have some spray paint that is anodized paint it come in purple/green/blue/red/ and I think gold. I have used it before and it works really good. I used it on some plastic chrome wheels and the looked like red chrome. They keep it with the auto body supplies where they keep all the car touch up paint check it out its some really cool stuff!

ak, I haven't used the tints but I did just use the mirror chrome on a shell I did for ZANDOR. It goes on pretty easily, but you'll probably use a whole 1 oz bottle for 1 body. So it gets expensive. I may just try the tints at some point in the future, but don't have any plans to right now.

Yeah I use the chrome all the time now, because it is so sweet looking. I think I have used it on every body I have done sence I bought it. It seems to go a long ways though, so thats good at $9.00 an oz.
