Has anyone tried the killer chrome kits, as an alternative to vacuum metalizing?

just looking into it as a lower cost alternative that looks like it would give the same finish, and if it gets scratched you could repair it. theoretically.

Yes it's good but not as good.


Die human!!!

Awesome thanks John.

We've used something like that for painting my armor...

But I can't recall the name.

In what ways does it not match up to vacuum metalizing John. Sounds like you have tried it. Is it the finish or durability

ALSA Corp Vacuum Formable Chrome Sheets


This disscussion started about the products ALSA makes "Chrome Paint" and "Peel and stick chrome film"...so I did a little research......... (went to their web site ) and discovered they make several products for chroming.

Peel and stick film,
Spray on chrome paint,
Powder coating Chrome,

and this one

Formable Chrome Sheeting!

The plastic sheet is a laminate of Petg, Chrome (Mylar) and a black ABS backing sheet.

Available in thicknesses of .30 to 1/2 inch........ (1/2 " would be a little thick for a DIY Vac Former but .30 to .60 would be great!)
