NEED CHROME SYSTEM FOR HELMETS

+++

CHROME FINISH FOR HELMETS (CARBON FIBER, KEVLAR, FIBERGLASS).

BRUNO THEIL
custom paint shop - Miami, Florida

Real chrome plating can only be done on a few plastics including ABS, Polypropylene, and special plating grades of fiberglass, so I don't think that's what you're seeking. Another possibility is aluminum vacuum metallizing, which is used on toys, mylar balloons, and some interior automotive parts. But the most appropriate technology, especially for a paint shop, is perhaps the new "chrome-look" paints.

Our supporting advertisers shown in the banner near the top of the page offer complete painting processes to achieve that look.
