That mean it goes back to the blaster?Got some Prismatic Powders "Super Chrome Plus" (used it before) on order......
Hopefully not - they're both Urethane powders - if I can adjust the KV and get adhesion should be good. If the adhesion is iffy, I can either hand-sand w/220 or back to the blaster - doesn't need to be all the way back to bare metal
Are you planning to shoot/fog a clear too?
I know the better looking ones had to have a clear.
Yep. That was why I tried this particular powder from Columbia as it was advertised as "all-in-one". On the other metallic powders I've used, the shine is actually better before the clear coat, but it's recommended "for outdoor use"
Interesting try on the chrome. Won't the first color flow in to the second color? Well, if clear can be used over color without making mud, I would guess not. Looking forward to the next chrome try. Thanks for the feedback, keep it going.
Shiny machine gray does give it a Triumph look. It could grow on you.
So the individual color layers are cured - or partially cured, depending - then the next color is powdered on and cured. With most metallics it's recommended to fully cure before the next top-coat
Oooops!Well that didn't work.......shiny "machine gray" anyone?

Wow! That really looks like chrome, I wouldn’t have believed it! 
That gonna need a clear coat Jeff, or is it done done?
It achieved the look that I was after; a nickel plated Rickman (etc). In actuality, it's milkier than actual chrome. Here's a side-by-side with some handlebarsWow! That really looks like chrome, I wouldn’t have believed it!
And the clear is on..
I'd let that frame eat crackers in my bed.

Well, my camper van conversion is gonna need a maiden voyage this fall... maybe.... 
That would look awesome on a Tracker as a lot of them were nickle plated.
