Dupli-Color SHD1000 Shadow Chrome Black-out Coating Kit

I did not work on my car's chrome parts

Great Idea, and works well.BUT, I am a daily rider rain or shine here in the big city so products don't last very long in my situation.This is great for non-service chrome, you know chrome you don't place you feet on and is just there for visual affect.I dod this on a Krapkuran part as their chrome is not meant to be outside at all.Kuryakyn = Krapkuran, guess it should be Krapkuryakyn.

I purchased the kit to use on my chrome front and rear bumpers. I ended up putting it on the chrome grill on my dodge. The instructions recommend 8-10" from surface for the first 3 coats. i however was probably 2-6" away and got too much on in the first application. DONT DO THAT. stay at the recommenced distance. after the initial coat i couldnt get the next coats to make it uniform. Make full sweeps across your surface and taper off the edges so you dont get stop lines. As it states, the more coats you apply the darker it gets. Thats what i ended up with, but im satisfied with the product and the look. The clear coat looks great and is easier to apply. I would recommend it and will purchase again for my bumpers.

ASE certified painting and refinishing which includes painting vehichles for over 15 yrs and I challenge anyone to effectively apply this product with any kind of success. The basecoat layed with a coarse even blotchy appearance. And the nozzle design to shoot an even fan? Expect streaks and skipping. Even cross cutting would not work. At least I did not invest a fortune in this. But then again what should I have expected with that in mind. You are better off passing on any ideas or interest in this product. Save yourself the time and money. Especially the headache of removing it from your project once you've seen the ill results.

On the expensive side. Got another dripper . It happens with duplicolor. I’ve learned to save the good nozzles when done and clean them with solvent. Ya switch out the nozzle and and it usually sprays the way it’s supposed to. Always!!!! Test on cardboard to check for drips save a lot of time on resanding. Also on replacing unsandable things
