Does spray chrome always turn yellow?


This is an important question that we hear nearly every day. After all, who wants to invest in a system that is unable to deliver on the promised results? Let’s see if we can demystify the issue of yellowing spray chrome.

The reason this question is so common is simple. People are excited about the ability to chrome any object. However, the companies many people purchased their systems from sell products that turn yellow in a few weeks and have little to no weather resistance. 

Many of these companies don’t understand the basic chemical interplay between spray chrome and the paints involved in the process. They don’t make their products from scratch as Cosmichrome does. Without fully understanding the plating process, they can’t really offer much customer support. Spray chrome is as much of a mystery to these companies as it is to their clients. The problem is so common that a certain bad reputation developed around the entire spray chrome plating industry. That’s why a lot of people give spray chrome a bad rap! Unless you are using Cosmichrome, your spray chrome finish will turn yellow - Period! It may only take a few days, or it might take several months, but it will turn yellow. 

Because we manufacture our own chemicals, we’re able to create a topcoat that fully protects our spray chrome from yellowing from sun exposure and chemical conflicts. The topcoat is just one of the things where other spray chrome companies go wrong! The topcoat is the main factor that protects your chrome plating from oxidation, tarnishing, and ultimately yellowing. That said, there’s more to it than just that. Even the plating process itself can result in a yellow finish if you don’t know what you’re doing, and it can wrong at many other steps along the way. These steps include guns not spraying evenly, chemical products being expired, impure water, cold chemicals, and so on.
