The hydrochrome coating process involves applying a specialized base coat, followed by a reflective chrome layer that creates a stunning mirror-like finish. This is then sealed with a durable topcoat for added protection against scratches, weathering, and UV exposure. Unlike traditional chrome plating, hydrochrome uses eco-friendly, water-based materials and can be applied to various surfaces, including metal, plastic, glass, and wood, making it a versatile and sustainable option for achieving a premium aesthetic.
Note: Please let us know if body filler (bondo) has been used on your item. This ensures proper preparation and a flawless hydrochrome finish. Hydrochrome coating is not suitable for exhaust systems, as it cannot withstand temperatures beyond 560°F.
