This finish is not a spray paint or vacuum metalizing. This finish is the combination of special catalyzed base coatings; a silver metal deposition (similar to the material used in mirrors) and a protective acrylic urethane top coat (similar to the industrial clear coat on your car). The combined layers result in a durable non peeling coating that will not flake or yellow. Yes, the finished surface will accept conventional paints to enable striping, accenting with graphics or airbrushing.
This coating process is professionally hand applied by their master technicians in a very clean environment. Since this process results in a mirror-like finish, all imperfections that are silvered or "chromed" will be visible in the finished piece. Imperfections in the substrate can be eliminated with various preparation techniques including filling, sanding and sealing as necessary.
