quote George Emmanuel:

The ACBS members who are anal about their chrome use Graves Plating in Florence Alabama. gplating@aol.com and there is a good shop in MN, JR Custom Plating, JR@JRCustomPlating.com

The Rustoleum product is called Stainless Steel. The only issue is you MUST shake it thoroughly and continue to shake it in between coats. The stainless steel appearance comes from what I call flecks and if you don’t shake it well they can clog the nozzle.

I did spray a heavily pitted tank with an “Chrome Aluminum” that turned out beautiful,—-until I sprayed the clear coat and that made it gray.

George,

I had a similar experience on a Bendix Twin that I painted. Looked awesome until the clear coat turned it grayish.

Chris S,

One of these days I will find one of these rudder twins and participate, but you can bet I enjoy following along on these topics. I am sure many others do too.
