Rust-Oleum 7718830 Stops Rust Bright Coat Metallic Spray Paint, 11 Ounce (Pack of 1), Chrome

Worked as expected. I needed it to paint a cosplay machete I’m working on. Base color was black and after using an adhesion promoter here is a pic of one coat of the paint after 24hr dry. It’s not quite chrome per se but it does have a glare and slight reflection as u can see. Definately metallic looking. I’ve seen a comment comparing it to the backside of aluminum foil but I would say my result came out somewhere in between the back of the foil and the front shiny side.

LOVE THIS STUFF!!So bright and shiny and easy to use and simply beautiful! It's all I can do to not spray paint every damn thing in the house lolMy bedroom and bathroom have many silver and mirrored accents, and this chrome spray paint works beautifully on everything I've used it on. It goes on smooth, it's super shiny, just a beautiful true Chrome color. If you're using it on items that were previously Chrome just make sure you've dusted it well and cleaned it well, if any rust has occurred on the item take 0000 grade steel wool to it and then rinse and dry well, it will bring it back to life and make it look brand new.I've also used it on ceramic, plastic, and wrought iron, with amazing results.Here are some tips:Be patient and go slow! You'll save yourself time in the long run, by not having to start the project all over again because of drips and dust particles etc. If you go too heavy with the paint and see drip marks, it's because you went too heavy with the spraying. If this happens, let it cure for at least 2 days, then sand down with ultra fine steel wool and start over. If you want to avoid that whole fiasco then read on...I give whatever I'm going to paint (except glass and ceramics) a once-over, or more, with the 0000 grade steel wool. You can get a pack of 12 on Amazon for five bucks and it lasts a good long while.For restoring Chrome you need to remove any rust with 0000 grade steel wool, then spray paint lightly (no primer needed). I find that two coats are usually sufficient. Don't overpaint or saturate the item or you'll get drippage, just spray light coats every 20 minutes until you achieve the desired effect and coverage. I let it cure for 3 days before handling. If it's an item that will be handled regularly or be subject to moisture, I strongly suggest a clear top coat, which you can find in several finishes with Rust-Oleum.For ALL plastics and ceramics, go over it with the steel wool that I mentioned, rinse and dry, then prime with Rust-Oleum 2X Flat White. For light colored plastic I do 2 coats 20 minutes apart, for darker colored items 2 to 3 coats 20 minutes apart or as much as needed to cover the color completely. I've never needed more than three coats on anything. Then let it dry for an hour and apply the Rust-Oleum Chrome paint. Spray lightly! It's easy to want to go crazy with that paint but don't do it or you will wind up with drips! Be patient and give it a light coat every 20 minutes until you have the desired effect. I let my items cure for three or four days, and if it's an item that will be handled often I use a clear top coat.For wrought iron plan on at least three coats of the paint primer I mentioned above, then proceed as mentioned above, leaving it to dry 20 minutes between coats. However I do NOT recommend using steel wool on wrought iron as the fibers will catch on the surface. If you feel it needs some sanding use an ultra fine grade sandpaper.For ceramics or glass, do not sand at all, just make sure the surface is clean. I find using a foam window cleaner to work quite well. Then go ahead and give it the primer treatment, going very lightly every 20 minutes until it is covered. Wait an hour then proceed as above with the chrome spray paint, spraying light coats every 20 minutes until you have the desired effect. Let it cure for a few days before handling it, and like I said if it's a item that will be handled frequently I strongly suggest a clear top coat finish, which I would apply 24 hours after you are finished painting it. Also I recommend giving the finished item at least a few days to cure.* if you are going to spray paint lamp shades make sure you prime inside and outside of the shade. I tend to use several coats on the inside because I found if I don't the outside painting will appear blotchy when you turn the light on.If you proceed patiently, your patience will be rewarded with a beautiful item that looks like you just bought it. Enjoy!

East to use works great on mamy products excellent coverage finish looks like real chrome

So I was a little doubtful and buying a metallic chrome spray paint that it would actually look anything like actual chrome. I posted a before and after pic of what I used it for (I love these little octopus hooks that I’m using to remodel my bathroom).It is, in fact, as chrome, as everything actually chrome in the bathroom!!!!I even bought a topcoat to make it shinier, but when I used that it came out, looking more like a brushed nickel coating.Now these octopus hooks were brand new; The other thing I need to paint chrome are the hooks on the wooden towel rack from before. There certainly more “rough” from wear and tear and I have no idea what they look like before/new.I will post those pictures once I get those done.But as for whether or not it lives up to the idea of looking like actual chrome…YES, IT CERTAINLY DOES!!!

I love the color but it smeared when clear poly was brushed over it.

Bought this to paint parts of my scale model Fire Engine. Spray paint worked well and the result was bright shinny aluminum parts for my scale model.

Really nice spray paint worked great!!

Very easy to use, and surprised that it really is a metal chrome color!
