| faddeo | Has anyone tried that Killer Chrome Paint from Alsa Corp on the inside of the wheels? They claim it looks just as good as chrome. I was wondering how it holds up and how it looked. My wheel chrome is peeling, and I'm looking for a remedy. |
| catfish | go to there website-alsacorp.com and read about it.the old inside barrels would have to have the old chrome stripped off.killer chrome must go over a primered surface.jmo,theres no beating real chrome. ------------------
 |
| faddeo | I realize nothing is better than real chrome, but I am trying to find an alternative for the time being. I wouldn't pay to have those wheels re-chromed. It would be cheaper to buy new wheels. I may give Killer Chrome a try. I was hoping someone already did try it. |
| bjprowler | If you do use it be sure to report back about how it worked out......This probably needs to be in a different forum.... |
| Tennessee Cat | When I first bought Bad Cat, sight unseen from Florida, I was dismayed to find bad corrosion on the inside barrels of each wheel. I took all wheels off, masked off the center barrel portion and sanded all of the rough plating and edges off, making a smooth but roughen surface. Then I spray painted that portion with a gray wheel paint. They are basically un-noticeable but even if you look hard to see them, they still look good. Good enough for First place trophys in several cars shows. It has been almost 5 years on them with no peeling or flaking. Is it a perfect fix, heck no but for those of us without deep pockets, it is a great way to go. |
| jimsutton | I was makeing some Chrome Chip guard Prowler parts last week with the Killer Chrome kit . didn't work for me . looks more like silver than Chrome .. The Kit is not cheep did it by the directions ?? I did my wheels last year like Tennessee Cat did with his wheels .. |
| George Johnson | I am in the process of sanding the chrome off the inside barrels and polishing then spray them with clear coat. It looks almost as shiny as chrome with no peeling.  |
| Hairarchitect | i bought a pair of peelers and am having them powder coated ... pics to follow watch this space |
| Ken Jozwiak | Since we are on the chrome peel issue: 1)Will the heat of powder coating damage the rest of the chrome?, 2)Would a thin coat of the stuff used for truck bedlining work? The above questions assume the barrel area is ground clean of chrome.Also does anyone have along term follow-up(say 2 yrs.+)on the rechrome jobs the guy in CA is doing? Thanks for any and all comments. |
