FAQ / Things to Know -10- FAQ / THINGS TO KNOW How is Cosmichrome® different from other “spray on chrome” products? There are several important differences, but most significant is that Cosmichrome® is the only product of its kind that is guaranteed not to turn yellow from the sun. Cosmichrome® can also tolerate higher temperatures. Cosmichrome® basecoat cannot be over dried. In fact, the drier our base coat, the better. The equipment is by far the most advanced option on the market. With our patented Select e-Gun™, simply pressing a button you can easily apply all the necessary chemicals. For all these reasons, we have established long-term customer references and an excellent reputation. What else will I need to get started? In order to start using the Cosmichrome® system you will need: - a ventilated paint booth (structure keeping dust and other contaminants out of painting area), - a compressor (you need clean compressed air to efficiently use the Cosmichrome® machines), - an air dryer system (to prevent air moisture and contamination). What kind of paint guns are recommended? We recommend the SATA Jet 4000 HVLP and above. Nozzle tip 1.3. Can I buff the Cosmichrome® topcoat? Yes. You can treat the Cosmichrome® topcoat as you would treat any other automobile topcoat. Sanding, cutting, buffing are all possible. Can I use any of my own paints? No. All of our paints are specifically formulated to bond and react chemically. If you choose to replace our topcoat with a different brand, it will quickly react and turn yellow within three weeks. You may apply another brand of topcoat as an additional coating over the Cosmichrome® topcoat after it has dried for at least one day. Do I need to know how to paint? No. Having knowledge on how to paint is definitely advantageous but it is not a prerequisite to getting started with the Cosmichrome® systems. Our training can help you gain basic knowledge to build on. What about the Cosmichrome® waste? In general, the waste from the Cosmichrome® process should be recycled as it contains silver, a precious metal. However, we recommend that you follow local regulations regarding disposal of the Cosmichrome® waste. Do I need to install a filtration water system? That is your choice. We recommend purchasing pure clean distilled water from a reputable water supplier to run Cosmichrome® systems. How durable is the finish? Do I need an oven? It is the final clear coat that seals and protects No. All the Cosmichrome® products can dry the finish. The Cosmichrome® finish passes at room temperature. Having an oven most OEM paint standards, including salt however, would greatly decrease waiting spray and UV testing. times and accelerate the process.
