Dawn's Design 403 Posted June 6, 2014 After today I think I'm gone tell my customers that I don't do chrome. I lettered a 18 wheeler with 2 layer black and chrome. That stuff is aggravating to work with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCOJdecals 39 Posted June 6, 2014 Yeah, the oracal chrome I have sucks to work with...wrinkles extremely easy and is pretty dang thin. I try to steer my customers away from it when they ask and don't even offer it on my site. F that stuff...haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn's Design 403 Posted June 7, 2014 I had to cut one door three times because I kept getting a wrinkle in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KYSIGN 233 Posted June 7, 2014 Did you use plastic transfer tape? I hate plastic tape. I just did 6 24in x 18in coroplast signs and decided to use up some plastic tape I had laying around. I had wrinkles galore. Paper tape all the way now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcextreme 475 Posted June 8, 2014 Yep I hate the chrome stuff..ive only done a few with it and it sucked. Now I just tell them I have chrome but its 4x as expensive..lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylesmash 36 Posted June 21, 2014 Not only is the chrome difficult to work with. It turns black after a while. I tell me customers that and they change their mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted June 21, 2014 I had the coburn chrome on my boat for 4 years on the windshield and still looked great when i sold the boat last month Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
top53 53 Posted June 21, 2014 I have had good success with Polychrome™ Polish vinyl has high polish metal look. It has been on my truck for over 18 months with no issues looks as good today as when I put it on. Says it is durable for 5 years.You will need to use a high tack app tape. To charge 4 times for chrome or telling customers it will turn black is probably not the best business practice, it may cost you business down the line.

The day he puts a chrome decal on his boat and 2. The day he takes it off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randalle 50 Posted June 26, 2014 I did a dumptruck yesterday with chrome I bought from USC and it worked like a champ. (creative films prime) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
