DO NOT back the SpazStix Mirror Chrome....even with clear. It will give the paint a brushed aluminum look.

| chrome paint
Here's some info on Spaz Stix Mirror Chrome painting. First ensure the body is completely cleaned as even finger prints will show when using this paint. Second spray several thin coats, this paint almost dries instantly so this will go quickly. Hold the body upto the light and you'll see if it's thick enough. (you should not be able to see thru it) Most painters say back it with black however white is ok. Seal it ( I prefer Faskote sealer ) after backing it. I had one of my bodies run over by a golf cart and destroyed the machine, however the paint job was not dammaged. The entire body was painted in mirror chrome. I'll post a pic later today on how it should look when applied properly. good luck. |

WATER BASED black ( faskolor ) is what I have best results with.
