MIPA Vicrom Chrome Effect Mirror Glaze is a basecoat to create a chrome looking surface with mirror effect.

How to spray MIPA Vicrom Chrome Effect?

Use a spray gun with a 0,8mm, 1mm or 1,2mm nozzle opening. 

1. Is the surface untreated? Always make sure to use an adhesive primer.
2. Use Mipa 2K topcoat black glossy as the first coating. Overcoat within 4 days. Allow this first coat to dry at least 8 hours at 20 °C or 30 minutes at 60 °C.
3. Do not sand the first coating before applying Mipa Vicrom „mirror glaze“ ! If necessary, any defects in paintwork should be polished. It is essential to get a perfectly smooth and faultless pre-coated surface to achieve optimal mirror effects.
4. When applying Mipa Vicrom „mirror glaze“ it is very important to ensure that only very thin and uniform layers are applied. Therefore we recommend keeping a larger distance between spray gun and the object surface and not applying too wet coatings. In fact Mipa Vicrom „mirror glaze“ is applied carefully as mist coat to achieve the very best mirror effect. Keep in mind: The more the black first coating shines through the better is the mirror effect.
5. Overcoat Mipa Vicrom „mirror glaze“ after approx. 45-60 minutes of intermediate flash-off time at room temperature or after approx. 30 minutes at 60 °C with Mipa 2K solvent-based clearcoats. Apply a very thin, first layer of clearcoat in order not to dissolve partially the basecoat Mipa Vicrom „mirror glaze“ (this would degrade significantly the mirror effect). After an intermediate flash-off time of approx. 10-20 minutes the clearcoat can be applied completely.
6. Let dry for at least 24 to 48 hours!
