Product Information

While we’ve chosen this as our best chrome spray for plastic, it’s perfectly suitable for use on a variety of other surfaces including wood, metal, stone and even glass. Chrome spray paint is a type of finish that’s inspired by the metal element chromium. The spray paint is applied to a surface to give off a chrome effect while of course still being made up of the same material.

Thanks to its durable nature and attractive shine, gloss paint is a common choice for accent pieces in the home, such as handrails, skirting boards and radiators. However, there are a few negatives to painting radiators with gloss that should be considered. It’s useful to know that aluminium is not a type of Iron, therefore not subject to rust, but can still react with oxygen and corrode. He continued: “It can often be sufficient to remove the rust on both chrome-plated and painted radiators. Why not express yourself and add some colour to your home? Orange, red, green, blue, you name it! There are thousands of colours out there that you can use to transform your radiator however you desire.

Next, you will need to sand the chrome. Start by using heavy grit sandpaper, such as 120-grit. At this point in the process, you can either use side-to-side sandpaper action or circular motion. You may want to use finer sandpaper (e.g. 240-grit) after you are done with the heavier 120-grit. Wiping the surface with a clean cloth will help you to determine if there is any remaining chrome. If you can still see it (i.e. parts of the surface are still shiny), then keep sanding with the 240-grit sandpaper. Once you are happy with the outcome produced by this grain of sandpaper, start using a 320-grit in a circular motion. This is a finer variety that will ensure that the surface is completely smooth. In addition – Surface preparation: For best results, ensure surface is clean, dry & free from loose paint, mould & mildew, wax or oil. If wax has been used, clean the surface thoroughly with white spirit. We recommend that bare wood should be sanded before painting. Hard glossy surfaces should be abraded before painting. Cover surrounding areas to protect from spray mist.

The colours have RAL reference numbers to help with colour-matching and provide a tough, fast-drying, durable finish. Features & Benefits: Sandblast the bumper until there is less of a shiny finish. Remember that more shine equals more chrome rust. The final stage of the preparation is to put down a dust sheet to protect the floor from any paint spillages.

Throughout this process, wipe the surface intermittently to establish whether all the scuff marks produced by the heavier sandpapers have been entirely removed. The goal of using the finer sandpaper is to remove any marks made by the 120-grit and 240-grit sandpapers used earlier. It may seem counter-productive to use the heavier grit first, but the point of doing this is to get under the oxidized layer.
