Instructions & Guides

STEP 1: Eastwood Liquid Chrome Paint must be applied over a smooth glossy black surface like our Eastwood Boulevard Black Single Stage Urethane paint.  After the base black layer has fully cured to the manufacture’s guidelines, color sand and buff to a smooth glass like finish.  Move on to step 2.

 

STEP 2: Wipe area to be coated with Eastwood PRE Painting Prep to remove any residual grease, wax or oil residue.  Next, wash the painted part with hot detergent and water solution. (A solution of Dawn or Palmolive dishwashing detergent and water works well.) Exercise care to avoid scratching surface. For best results surface must remain scratch free and as smooth as glass.

 

STEP 3: Stir Eastwood Liquid Chrome well and pour into a spray gun or airbrush cup. NOTE: No additional thinning is necessary or desired.

 

Apply coating with a HVLP detail gun with 0.8 - 1.0 mm nozzle or airbrush with #5 tip. Adjust gun for very light material flow (about 1/2 to 3/4 turn open from the fully closed position). Adjust fan and pressure to produce an even very light mist fan about 2 inches wide.

 

Apply 3 or 4 very light coats, allowing 15 - 20 minutes between coats. Stop as soon as you achieve full opacity. Allow coating to dry for 15 -20 minutes after last coat is applied. NOTE: Heavy coats or additional coats will produce a duller finish.  Full reflectivity will not be revealed until the end of step 4.

 

STEP 4: When the coating is tack free, GENTLY wipe the surface with a high-quality, absolutely clean, dry, microfiber cloth or 100 percent cotton towel or shirt. Do not use any hand pressure. Just let the weight of the cloth pick up any leftover dry spray. This will slightly brighten the surface and improve reflectivity in the final product.

 

STEP 5: Allow the coating to dry an additional 12-24 hours. Stir and apply 1 medium coat of Eastwood Liquid Chrome Clear (12452Z). NOTE: No additional thinning is necessary or desired. The application of this clear will slightly decrease reflectivity by 5-15 percent, but it will prevent the coating from smudging and can be left as is or top coated with most two-part urethane automotive coatings for an even more durable finish.
