I talked with a guy that was telling me that he powder coated some stuff with chrome powder coating at work. He said it looks just like chrome. Anyone ever seen if it looks like mirror like chrome? Anyone ever use the chrome powder coating to do the aluminum trim, grill trim, beltline trim, taillight bezels, etc...? <br><br>Thanks Much,<br><br>Blue71

I have used it (had it done) yes it looks really good about 85 perdent of real chrome.<br><br>It is a tad more money and not a lot of powder guys do it ( I had it done at East Side Plating in Portland Ore)<br><br>Nice stuff but not like bumper chrome more like polished aluminum.<br><br>Paul

I bought some stuff to do a turbo exaust manifold with. If you have ever seen a set of headers with jet hot coating on them this is very similar to the stuff they use to do it. You can brush or spray it on and once it is dry (48 hrs ) you rub it with fine steel wool and it really shines. It is what they do jet turbine engines with. This might not be what you are looking for but I am sure you could find some very good uses for it ( exhaust , etc. ). If anyone is interested call 1-800-833-8933.
