Key Features

• Complete Chrome System: Includes three distinct 30ml tones of HyperChrome alongside a dedicated 30ml water-based Chrome Sealer for a complete, professional application workflow.

• Three Specialized Tones:

  • CHM01 HyperChrome Cold Tone (30ml): Crisp, brilliant, cool-toned chrome for classic brightwork and mirrors.

  • CHM02 HyperChrome Warm Tone (30ml): Natural, warm-tinted chrome perfect for polished brass, aged trim, or gold undertones.

  • CHM03 HyperChrome Dark Tone (30ml): Deep, gunmetal-adjacent dark chrome ideal for exhaust stacks, engine components, and modern custom finishes.

  • CHM04 Chrome Sealer (30ml): Water-based protective topcoat specially formulated to seal HyperChrome finishes without dulling or diminishing the mirror reflection.

• Pre-Thinned for Airbrushing: Formulated for smooth, ultra-fine spray atomization straight from the bottle.

• High Reflectivity: Engineered with ultra-fine metallic pigments that level evenly across glossy surfaces to maximize light reflection.

Application Guide

1. Base Preparation: For the highest mirror reflection, airbrush HyperChrome over a fully cured, high-gloss black base coat.

2. Airbrushing: Apply HyperChrome in thin, light passes at low air pressure (around 10–12 PSI) until full opacity and reflectivity are achieved. Avoid heavy, wet coats.

3. Sealing: Once the paint is dry, airbrush a light coat of CHM04 Chrome Sealer over the surface to protect the finish from handling and subsequent weathering washes while preserving its shine.

Pro-Tips for Ultimate Chrome

• Gloss Foundation is Key: The smoother and glossier your black base coat, the more intense the mirror effect will be. Ensure the base is completely dust-free and fully cured before applying HyperChrome.

• Low PSI Atomization: Keep air pressure low and build up the coverage gradually. Light dusting layers allow the pigment particles to align flat on the surface for maximum reflection.

• Handling & Protection: Always seal with CHM04 Chrome Sealer prior to applying decal solutions, handling the part directly, or applying enamel or oil-based panel line washes.
