geezer Posted September 7, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 7, 2007 Has anyone seen this before, or maybe used it? I think I might have a few uses for it, if it's half as good as they claim. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1oz-KAAT-Chrome-Real-CHROMIUM-Spray-n-Bake-Plating_W0QQitemZ190150472580QQihZ009QQcategoryZ34203QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e_racer1999 Posted September 7, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 7, 2007 i don't know, but let me know how it works! sounds like i could use it on my header..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyZ Posted September 7, 2007 Share #3 Posted September 7, 2007 There was an Italian/franchise process which required special equipment and essentially was the same thing. (Read about this years ago) It was just as durable as paint but the chrome could take on any color you wanted.Ah! Here is one such setup. Pretty cool!http://www.goldtouchinc.com/cosmichrome/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted September 7, 2007 Thanks for the link Jimmy. I have seen it before and it is quite impressive. That particular product is much different and has a great advantage, as it can be used on plastics and other non conductive surfaces. I think these various chrome alternatives are the way of the future. They are getting better all of the time. If your not doing a concourse restoration it will be the way to go. The last restoration I did, I spent $3800.00 on the chrome and that wasn't counting the bumpers! Makes me glad this Z doesn't have much chrome.

justin260z Posted September 8, 2007 Share #5 Posted September 8, 2007 can you still use the oven for cooking once the product has been baked in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted September 8, 2007 Share #6 Posted September 8, 2007 Instead of the oven, how about a heat gun?This stuff would be great for touching up emblems, door handles, and other small stuff. Maybe the interior chrome stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak's Z Posted September 8, 2007 Share #7 Posted September 8, 2007 Ron, My bumpers won't fit in my oven. I wonder if the pizza-pizza will let me use their oven to cook some newly chromed bumpers! That stuff sounds an awful lot cheaper than re-chroming. If you use it, put up a post and let us know how it goes. Sounds neat. Zak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share #8 Posted September 8, 2007 I was thinking smaller than bumpers Zak, but I like the pizza-pizza idea. Your bumpers would smell great, but I don't know about the next guy's pizza:sick:Tommo, the guy selling this product is in your backyard. You probably could use a heat gun for small parts if you kept the heat even. He says he can't ship internationally. This sounds to be the same product available from Summit.

TomoHawk Posted September 9, 2007 Share #9 Posted September 9, 2007 According to the auction, you can't really apply the stuff over chrome- you will have to either sandblast the area rough, or sandbast the old chrome off completely. Bare metal is needed. Some experimentation is in order, maybe on an old emblem or something like that.I think a heatgun might work if it doesn't blow a lot of air. Maybe make a small metal box for the heatgun/oven.thxZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin260z Posted September 9, 2007 Share #10 Posted September 9, 2007 how can you use it on plastic, you cant put plastic in the oven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblake01 Posted September 9, 2007 Share #11 Posted September 9, 2007 Apparently, it's the product in post #3 that can be used on plastic not the product that Ron linked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted September 9, 2007 Share #12 Posted September 9, 2007 Justin,For plastic, it might be possible to use it in small areas, and cure it ith a heat gun. Heat in a small area might not hurt a plastic part. I don't know what kind of heat is needed until I get my can of product. I'd like to chrome the plastic covers on the front of the armest.
