Custom Creation Paints are leading specialists within the effects coating industry. One of the most popular on-demand paint customisation requests is the use of spray on chrome effect paint type systems, to create a flawless, professional and contempory chrome effect finish. Our spray on mirror effect paint is suitable for spraying onto any surface including plastic. This is generally used as a decorative mirror effect finish. It's perfect for model makers, prototype makers, decorative ornament manufacturers, traditional mirror makers. We would not recommend this product to be used on automotive items like wheels as it would not stand up to this level of wear and tear, unless it's for a show car of course!

Hydrochrome is our very own silvering kit, transforming any object, into a brand new, chrome effect product. Chrome@Home has become the latest addition to our innovative and advanced custom paint specialist finishes. This system enables non-commercial and non-specialists to achieve the same effect on a smaller scale and smaller budget. Chrome@Home is designed to use trigger sprayer bottles which can effectively apply a mirror effect on smaller areas. For chroming larger items we offer a larger kit with a dual chambered air fed spray gun which holds a larger quantity of chroming solutions or if you wish to operate at a commercial scale we can also supply a 20L pressure tanks.

The Chrome@Home system is designed for small areas because the trigger sprayer bottles are less efficient than spray guns and therefore require a far greater amount of chrome solutions.

The Hydrochrome process itself is surprisingly straightforward but  we definitely recomend that you have a bit of practice before using it so you can get a greater understanding how the system works before you start your project, again always start with very small  items like like phone casees, them move up to the larger items once you are confident i using it.

Firstly a coat of sensitizer is applied, to prepare the surface for the application of the spray on chrome containing the silver nitrate, to ensure the chrome paint becomes chemically bonded to the surface. Water is  rinsed over the item to make it ready for the silvering solutions to be applied. The silvering chrome solutions use real silver nitrate and not harmful traditional chroming chemicals to achieve the desired effect. The spray on chrome is rinsed again with distilled water before the application of an anti-oxidant. Compressed air is then used to dry the product. Once the item is dry, apply our specially formulated tinted chrome effect lacquer to prevent the yellowing,For outside use finish with 3-4 layers of our 2K UV guard lacquer, we have been running independant test on our spray o n chrome and have noticed  a slight change in colour after 11 months outside.

Although there are now many leading competitors; SpectraChrome who offer a spray on chrome application pack, Chrome FX, who use expensive equipment to apply the same chrome chemicals, chrome solutions and silver nitrate to achieve the chrome effect, but with a far greater price tag, the new Fantachrome which uses the same water based chrome solution, creating chrome for plastic using the same chrome spray, however again for a high cost and, lastly Cosmic Chrome who provide the chrome effect to large vehicles and objects, needless to say, again going to set you back a fortune. Despite SpectraChrome, Chrome FX, Fantachrome and Cosmic Chrome all costing a comparably small fortune (or very large one!) all of these companies use the same chrome spray technology that we do to achieve their chrome effect. However we pride ourselves in providing high quality products but at a lower cost so that anyone can achieve a quality spray on chrome effect, whether you’re using our Chrome@Home kit or our double chambered commercial spray guns.

THIS VIDEO SHOWS THE CHROME@HOME^TM TRIGGER SPRAYER KIT IN ACTION

   PLEASE NOTE: The spray on Chrome @ home trigger sprayers are designed for small items. Compared to dual chambered air fed spray guns, the trigger sprayer bottles have a very poor fluid transfer efficiently. When the trigger is pressed, the fluid does not atomise in the same way as a spray gun so therefore require a much larger quantity of silver solutions to cover the same area. See chart below to choose size of solution pack needed. It is an expensive way of applying the solutions but our aim was to produce a system that would enable you to try this product without the inital large set up costs of pressure fed systems. It is ideal for smaller items as it is much quicker to set up and clean out than large pressure fed kits. So what you lose in solutions you gain in time. As we know, time is money.

Due to many requests we have chrome sprayed a large motorbike crash helmet and visor using the trigger sprayer bottles, we used 170ml A solution and 170ml of B solution, so this works out that a 16sq ft kit using a trigger sprayer bottle would easly do 6 large motorbike helmets.
