Spray Chrome Comparison


Cosmichrome VS PChrome Spray Chrome Comparison

If you are trying to decide whether to choose PChrome spray chrome kits or a Cosmichrome spray chrome system, we’ve gathered detailed information so that you can make a good choice. Both companies offer spray chrome that has the look and feel of traditional chrome plating. PChrome has been offering its products since 1932 while Cosmichrome is a relative newcomer with 15 years of experience under its belt. Here is what you need to know about what each company offers.

About Cosmichrome

Located in Canada, Cosmichrome offers water-based spray chrome paint, chemicals, basecoats and topcoats. It separately sells two different application systems, including the master system and the mini system. The company has been in business for 15 years. The company offers phone support only. It does not have a flexible setup or an integrated system, but Cosmichrome does provide excellent adhesion and a good selection of colors. Orders are shipped within about one week of order placement.

Cosmichrome Spray Chrome System

Cosmichrome offers the Master System Pro and the Mini System. The Master System Pro is a heavy duty piece of painting equipment that is made out of stainless steel. It has an attached e-gun that can be used to spray on different chemicals in the application process. The company’s Mini System is designed for spraying smaller items such as hubcaps, and it is more compact. Cosmichrome also sells paints in a variety of color options along with the chemicals that are needed to complete the spray chrome process.

Differences in Silver Solutions

The concentration of silver and the quality of raw materials used to manufacture the S solutions are critical. The formulation know-how and the tight manufacturing controls we bring with over 80 years of silver making history give our customers unprecedented quality and performance.

Equally important is the freshness of the solutions. Both the S and the R solutions have a relatively short shelf life. It is the nature of the chemistry that changes will occur as the product sits on the shelf. PChrome solutions are made daily and rarely sit in our warehouse for more than a few days.

Most of our competitors are buying their solutions in bulk from outside the US. PChrome comes to you a few days old while others are selling product that has sat in warehouses and ships often for months. Freshness counts when you are looking for brilliance.
