Application:
Shadow Chrome is easy to apply and can even be applied with an airbrush. The Basecoat plays an important role. The colour of the Basecoat determines the obtained Shadow Chrome effect. If the Basecoat is dark (black, dark blue, etc.) you will obtain a darker Shadow Chrome effect. If applied over a light coloured Basecoat (white, grey, silver, etc.) you will obtain a lighter Shadow Chrome effect. You will notice a difference by using a satin or gloss finish when applying the Shadow Chrome.
