The Alternative to Chrome Plating

HARD Lifestyle — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 20:42:24 +0000

There is a new technology taking the place of chrome plating with the ability to chrome metal as well as non-metal surfaces (plastic, fiberglass, wood, glass, virtually any surface).

Used in a wide range of industries chrome plating has become increasingly difficult in recent years. Regulations designed to protect against the safety and environmental hazards of hexavalent chrome have increased the cost of chrome plating and burdened facilities performing plating services. Conventional chrome plating has several limitations and cannot be used to chrome plate many surfaces. While industry downsizing and consolidation has led to the closure or offshore relocation of as many as half of the chrome plating shops in North America due to EPA regulations. Europe is ambivalent and Asia is largely unconcerned with regulating chrome plating pushing much of North America chrome plating overseas. The need has arisen for an alternative to chrome plating that does not have the environmental and safety issues of conventional chrome plating.

The Gemini Chrome System is one such custom coating alternative that offers a new and evolving technology based on chemical metalizing. Chemical metalizing uses a chemical process instead of an electrical process to attach metal to a substrate. One advantage is nonmetal as well as metal can be chrome plated (plastic, fiberglass, wood, virtually any surface). There is also more flexibility in the parts making for fewer failures due to flex. The added flexibility is due to the thinness of the coating. With conventional chrome plating the thickness of the different layers of metals applied does not allow for flexibility this can result in a failure of the part. The process does not use hexavalent chromium the main environmental problem of conventional chrome. It can also be tinted to achieve colors such as gold, black chrome, even red, blue or green. This revolutionary chrome process has the durability comparable to that of a high-end industrial or automotive finish.

The Gemini Chrome System is a viable solution for most chroming needs. To learn more or find out if our process could work for you please contact us at www.hardlifestyle.com or email at info@hardlifestyle.com.

Rad Busa hits Cycle World

HardLifeStyle — Thu, 22 May 2008 15:08:17 +0000

We posted a few days ago the pictures from Rad Greaves World Record Breaking 1661cc Suzuki Hayabusa which broke 200MPH during an actual race on the track. Well this is the issue of Cycle World that covered the event. This bike made headlines around the world and really showed all what you can do with chrome paint and a little bit of creativity. This bike went down as one of the most advanced machines of its time and the paintjob was NO exception.

All Copper CBR 1000RR

HardLifeStyle — Mon, 19 May 2008 22:58:30 +0000

I have always loved the unique look of copper, so when the time came to paint my personal bike the choice was obvious! Chrome with Copper Candy REALLY set this bike off from any other of the chrome paint jobs we’ve done. By simply mixing a little Gold, Brown and Orange Candy we came up with this one off Copper color that ALWAYS turns heads.

Well we can’t say enough about the Chrome Paint Technologies at HARD Lifestyle. As previous Technical Director for the Alsa Corporation I became the “go to” guy for Chrome Paint. If you had a chrome system and had ANY troubles using it you likely spoke to me, or trained with me. At HARD Lifestyle we offer the Imperial Chrome System with FULL support should you need it.

I’ve decided to dig through the STACKS of pictures and give you a glimpse of what this amazing product can do. From Motorcycles to Electric Guitars we’ve done it all and NOW you can too. I think you will find the coming posts VERY interesting. We have chromed shoes, movie props, instruments, wheels, fixtures, toys, collectibles, weapons and everything else you can think of. Imperial Chrome works equally well on ANY surface and will achieve a perfect 100% chrome mirror reflection.
