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.
