About 2yrs ago I tried Transparents “which are used with a Nickel Plated substrate” or their Mirror Silver “at the time” but the Mirror Silver wasnt shiney enough to bring out the Transparent effect, instead it just went dark. So if or when I get time I want to try blowing some Transparent Copper that I have over some of the Extreme Chrome to see if it will work as a better base and bring out the Transparent effect.

ive had some transparent copper done over a chrome base , shit looked awsome, but he said something about only half baking the base pulling it out of the oven , spraying it with the transparent copper , half baking the copper , then clear coating it and baking it another half cycle , just thought id let ya know… he said the reason he does it that way is because if u bake it too many times it goes kinda hazy? is that correct ?
