Why Choose Empire Group's Spray-On Chrome Finishing?

Spray-on chrome finishing is a great choice for experimenting with aesthetics or signature colors for models, prototypes, or limited edition versions of a standard product. It also adds a realistic touch to the look of miniaturized products and trade show models. Empire’s spray product creates a realistic chrome finish with a smooth, gleaming layer on top of machined parts, prototypes, 3D-printed parts, and more.

The spray-on process is faster than conventional alternatives and provides more comprehensive coverage of intricate designs without slowing down production, making it cost-effective too.

This finishing process is compatible with a range of non-absorbent materials and substrates including vinyl, polypropylene, polycarbonate, rubber, and even soft polymers. Extensive tests have proven its superior adhesion properties can withstand cutting, tearing, bending, and squeezing.

Understanding Our Spray-On Chrome Finishing Process

Our high-quality chrome finish is far more than a single coat of metallic spray. Every workpiece goes through a unique three-step process to ensure complete coverage and a metallic shine that looks just like chroming and stays put with use over time. Here’s how it works:

1. Basecoat
An opaque white basecoat is applied on the entirety of the surface with an automotive spray gun. The self-leveling basecoat is formulated to bind to the material surface and dry to a smooth, even surface without color fluctuations.

2. Metal Spray
A water-based coating is applied next. It binds tightly to the surface without bubbling, warping, or developing a shaggy texture. Our technicians apply this coating with a state-of-the-art spray gun used specifically for chrome coat applications.

3. Topcoat
Finally, a thin, high-performance topcoat is applied. This clear formula dries to create a highly durable and UV-resistant coating that protects both the underlying component and its chromed appearance. We can also tint the topcoat to any custom or signature color to enhance the look of any product.
