TorontoTim Posted March 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 It was posted on the Toronto Triumph Club FB page a couple of days ago, but it's not new as far as I can tell (video is from May 2017). It certainly looks like the mutt's nuts - if anyone has seen it in person would be great to get a report Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ctc77965o Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Breathtaking finish and a breathtaking price https://alsacorp.com/easy-chrome/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Certainly looks good. Durability would be my question / concern Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DRD Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Certainly looks good. Durability would be my question / concern Probably peels off in a few months! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 This may be the future. Chrome plating is being regulated out of business. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 If you look at the coverage in area for each of those kits then the price would work out not far different. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRseks Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Would assume the price on this would come down, very impressive to see. Magnus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisR-4A Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Real electro chrome plating may be the best long term option on metals but this stuff will add chrome to anything you can paint! Plastics Alloy Glass Wood On modern and custom cars where plastic is everywhere the possibilities are endless. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I also see from their web site that they sell chrome effect leather. So you could paint the entire car to get the chrome look, and get a chrome flying jacket made to match. The height of style. The total cost, of course, isn’t just the paint. You need to get the item finished to a super smooth surface. If you are paying someone else that could add up to quite a bit. Plus, as with any new product there is a “learning curve” involved. Whenever I try some new idea/product I waste 50% just experimenting. (But of course, they don’t tell you that…) Charlie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Hhhhmmm a chrome TR...... Now theres a thought. Keep all those cars with LED headlights way way back! Come to think of it ideal for tarting up TR6 tail light clusters and the associated reflectors! Edited March 29, 2018 by DaveN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bleednipple Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Here's a good review of the Alsa product, it's a video made by a professional (who makes theatrical/film props by the look of it). He tests the Alsa product in various ways: He concluded that the product can work very well, but not when brushed on. Needs to be carefully airbrushed, over a black gloss undercoat. I suspect not the holy grail for us in its current form, but maybe if the product keeps getting improved... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
