  • Painting an engine

    Anybody used KemKhrome over powder coat on an engine to get a reflective chrome appearance? http://www.kemfx.com/uploads/KemKhro...r_Selector.pdf

    Why do two steps? How about this?

    I'm going to post some pics in a few days; this is about the same finish as I've seen with the various 'chrome' paints (although not the one you're referencing) and is cheaper than paint if you can do your own coating. The only downside to this is prep has to be very good, as any flaws will show up.
