Description:
Super Chrome Plus is a reflective chrome-like polyurethane powder coating. It is our brightest and most reflective powder. Its true chrome-like appearance makes it our preferred choice for a powder coating base coat under transparent powder finishes to create a bright and vivid candy appearance.
Listed below are two cure schedules that can be used for Super Chrome Plus.
- 15 minutes at 375°F PMT
- 10 minutes at 400°F PMT
It is important to fully cure Super Chrome Plus before applying a top coat.
To maintain a true chrome-like appearance, after fully curing adding a top coat of Clear Vision PPS-2974 is required. Alternatively, any Prismatic transparent, candy, or various gloss clears, may be used depending on your desired finish. The image shown displays Super Chrome Plus with Clear Vision PPS-2974 as a top coat over the left side.
Gloss: 71-85 Gloss Units

My Super Chrome dulls when applying a clear coat. Why is this?

Answer:
If your Super Chrome shifts color when a clear coat is applied then the Super Chrome is likely not fully cured. Super Chrome must be fully cured before applying a top coat. Yes, Super Chrome does require a top coat to protect from oxidation and corrosion. Super Chrome's cure schedule shows 400 degrees for 12 minutes or 450 for best results. At 450 degrees F. the metallic flakes will settle flat and provide an improved reflective surface over cured at 400 degrees F.
When curing, the thickest portion of your part metal MUST reach cure temperature BEFORE setting your cure timer. If coating heavy parts this could take several minutes in the oven before the substrate reaches temperature.
How are you measuring your substrate's metal temp before setting that timer? If using an Infrared Thermometer be sure to adjust your emissivity level down for reflective surfaces (see your gun's instruction manual for these adjustment settings) otherwise you will get a false reading on your gun and then likely under-cure your powder.
Here is a link to our Infrared Gun that has this adjustment.

Applying Clear Vision over Super Chrome you should still see a very reflective chrome like finish but curing the base of Super Chrome is essential to achieve the right look.
