CHROME
Description
Transform your models with the "Pure Metal" revolution. Chrome is a professional-grade pigment engineered to achieve a stunning 80-90% mirror finish. The secret to its liquid-metal realism lies in the process: applied over a perfectly cured, high-gloss 2K black base, it creates a surface indistinguishable from real plating.
Designed for airbrush application with high air-to-product ratio, it offers a durable finish that can be varnished or tinted with candy colors for custom metallic effects.
Achieve exhibition-standard chrome with the ultimate precision of Chrome.

Instructions:
- Preparation: Apply the Black Gloss 2K FSC738 base coat (follow the instructions on the label), waiting 5 to 10 minutes between coats. Allow to evaporate for 20 minutes, then dry in an oven at 50°C for 1 to 2 hours or outdoors for 24 to 72 hours. It is very important that, before proceeding to the next step, we ensure that this varnish is completely hardened and crystallized. This is essential for the chrome effect to be more reflective (more mirror-like). It is crucial that the final result is a black background that is as shiny as possible, completely dry and hardened.
- Chrome Application: We applied the Chrome without mixing, adjusting the pressure to 1.5 or 2 bar and opening the product flow half a turn. We applied several coats, always ensuring the use of more air than product to avoid excessive buildup. We dried it in an oven for 20 minutes at 50°C or in the open air for 24 hours.
- Drying & Microfiber: Allow to dry (20 min at 50ºC or 24 hours air-dry). Gently wipe with a microfiber cloth to remove any surface dust.
Shake vigorously before use.
- Optional Protection: If handling is required, apply Varnish Chrome 2k final varnish (mixed at 20% with catalyst) in two thin coats. Note: Clear coating may slightly reduce the mirror intensity.
- When you get to this point, you can leave it as is, or you can varnish it with another varnish of greater hardness or shine, or you can apply colored varnishes to convert the chrome effect into colors.
Recommended for airbrush application (0.2mm to 0.4mm needles). Ideal pressure: 15-25 PSI. Apply in thin, cross-coats. Touch dry in 10 minutes. Full cure in 24 hours.
Safety:
Flammable. Use in a well-ventilated area. Wear a protective mask (organic vapors) and gloves. Keep away from children.
