no propane use a heat gun

the chemical metalization is a very thin proces good job but for interior use

That black paint application was way foo thick, you filled in half the grain.

It looks great! I'll be doing the same thing soon. Keep working on it. Love the video!

the gloss and finish on that plastic-chroming process looks pretty darned good. I'm impressed with the results.

If your willing to crome my Buick regal grill lmk man let’s work

Great job of explaining the process! Keep up the good work !

This will be blinding in the sun

Why whispering on the video? Talk up!

Dude your compressor is so damn loud I can't hear you!

The torch sound is drowning out your voice

Almost there… The chemical reaction or process you kept mentioning when flaming the part is called “evaporation “ it’s just removing any moisture from the surface by heating it quickly. I don’t think your black spots are from the paint curing, but it’s possible… maybe try letting it dry for a couple days… and drying outside in the sun should be more than enough heat to cure it as long as it’s 70ish degrees outside. I want to think your black spots are possibly a contaminant of some sort, there was a comment about your distilled water not being distilled anymore because you put it through the metal spray gun … umm how does that person that commented think distilled water is made… it’s boiled… typically in a “metal “ container and the steam is condensed in typically a “metal “ tube … Gheesh , learn something people.

Well. Looks like painting over non dry paint problems.

Try setting the spray bottle to mist instead of stream. Might be part of it.

That is not a 1968. It's pre- 1967.

something in one of your processes isn't being done thoroughly enough or is being done to much.

Might be a better idea to use the flame spreader tip on that torch if you continue with that technique

Pretty sure the flame is taking the place off a baking/drying process that completes off gassing of the paint at about 170* F…

Doing it the hard way

I would’ve finished watching this video but trying to talk with a compressor running and you can’t hear you talk. It’s kind of irritating so onto the next video.

I think your video explaining your process was awesome!! The fact that you are trying to save money by doing it all our as much as you can is great. Thank you

looks nice. but not chrome plating

Looks good 👍 brother keep up the good work .. are you doing original gauges or aftermarket? Either way it looks good bro. Keep up the good work. ..Get her done.🤙🏽

It looks clean, so something is introducing contamination, after the paint. I wonder if it could be the gas in your torch? I was a coating specialist for metal coatings and delamination would occur if we heated with Hydrogen, but Argon alone seemed to clean the part. As someone said below, it could be a chemical acidic reaction that specific gases introduce, or it could be heat alone. IE: the gas combination may be "dirty" and that is introducing contamination.

If you want to talk, turn off the air compressor cuz I'll saw me hear you just the compressor

It's called flaming but after the blowlamp destroys the sound?

One of the worst videos I've ever seen. You surly can't hear it 😮

Nice enough. Have you tried this process with a white enamel pre coat paint instead of a dark color? Maybe the mismatch wouldn't be so obvious then?

!!!

Can you do some thing like this for me…headlight bezel?

Great video, very authentic

Be conscious of your thermal changes as you’re going from paint to water to air. Try to keep them all the same temperature.

you need better prep for cleaner outcome.

Hi, nice job, one thing that I started doing years ago is paint things inverted, it works very well. Good luck Rich

Excellent, thanks for sharing, new sub. Cheers.

How much for me to ship my 74 impala grill to you?!

Looks great. I'm going to try it. Keep posting videos. I would like to see that air cleaner. I have one for my plymouth i want to modify it .

Distilled water in the metal spray gun is no longer Distilled as it picks up minerals from the metal

J

You guys are drinking this cool- aid? LOL!!!

Super fine steelwool helps clean that up. I feel you & I'm trying to learn myself to . I'm working on 69 351w mustang engine, that I'm putting in a 66 fairlane 500 . So good luck man !

nice car man, are you using 5w-30?

I think the aldehydes (acids) from the combustion are causing the chemical reaction

Can u put link for product plz ty great work btw

Nice work!

Which kit did you purchase?

I’ll always take time to applaud a person that is trying. I’ve seen various forms of the chrome process online over the years. Mostly commercialized types. What makes this video important is the genuine human error left transparent for us. No underscoring the importance of this. I figured these processes took more trial and error than many of these videos display. Thank you for both trying and the truth brother! I now know what to expect . I love chrome. Always will.

I did the same repair however I could not get the brake lights to work after I did it. Turn signals were intermittent also. Did you try it with power on yours and does it work?

Why would you fill the oil filter before
