As expected the 2K clear killed the “real” chrome look. I’ll update this when I redo the job with the appropriate chrome sealer. I communicated with the manufacturer of the sealer that appears to be the best on the market right now and they said there is no stock in the US at this moment and they will not have any to export until June at the earliest.
I do have some on the way (ETA 4-10 weeks) from a seller out of Taiwan via eBay so I’ll update when it arrives. The product is “E7 S-02 Chrome Sealer”.
I’ll include a pic of my dash after spraying. I wouldn’t say it’s horrible by any means, but after seeing what appeared to be real chrome shot from a spray gun, it was disheartening to lose even 10-20% of that look to the clear. The panel is kinda junk anyways with the stereo cutout and a layer of clear disbonding off the simulated wood, so I’ll be back in there eventually. Don’t look too closely at the chrome rings around the gauges, I was still messing with some different ways to flow the Molotow onto them evenly.
I’ll toss in some pics that’ll be in an upcoming post documenting my cluster rebuild.
