 |
| Q: What is the difference between a
ChromeFX™Finish and traditional Metallic Paint? |
A: A ChromeFX™ Finish is not paint,
although it is applied in a similar manner. ChromeFX™
places a layer of Real liquid metal on a product's surface.
Consequently, it looks and feels like the product has been
chromed or metallized, not just painted. A ChromeFX™
finish is reflective and shines, like a mirror. It is also
much more durable than paint and will not fade over time.
|
| Q: Does the ChromeFX™ Finish conduct
electricity? |
A: Yes, a ChromeFX™ finish is
real metal so it theoretically can conduct electricity like
all metals. However, ChromeFX™ is intended for decorative
purposes. It is not a substitute for electroplating and
we do not provide any assistance on this topic.
|
| Q: How strong is a ChromeFX™ Finish? |
A: ChromeFX™ is as durable as
OEM Automotive Finishes.
