How to Use COSMOS Mirror Chrome Spray Paint for Best Results
Achieving a mirror effect requires specific preparation and technique:
- Preparation (Crucial): The surface must be perfectly smooth, non-porous, and preferably prepared with a gloss black base coat to maximize reflectivity. Sand the surface lightly with fine sandpaper (600-grit or higher) and ensure it is completely clean. Ensure perfect adhesion on plastic surfaces.
- Mixing: Shake the can vigorously for at least 2 minutes after hearing the mixing ball.
- Application: Hold the can 20–25 cm from the surface. Apply extremely thin, light, mist coats. Do not apply a heavy, wet coat. The mirror effect develops as the solvents evaporate rapidly.
- Topcoat (Avoid): Do not clear coat the chrome finish unless necessary, as most clear coats will dull the mirror effect significantly.
- Drying: Allow the finish to dry completely in a dust-free environment. Master the aerosol shaking technique.
- Cleaning the Valve: After use, invert the can and press the nozzle for 3 seconds to clear the valve.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How durable is the mirror finish?
A: Mirror Chrome finishes are highly aesthetic but are less resistant to rubbing and abrasion than standard enamel or primers. They are best for decorative items not subject to heavy contact.
Q: Does the colour fade?
A: Like most highly metallic finishes, exposure to harsh UV or frequent handling can affect the ultra-high reflectivity over time, making it important to keep the surface clean and protected.
Q: Can I use this on outdoor items?
A: It can be used, but its delicate finish means it will not withstand weather and constant handling as well as a standard exterior paint.
