Any body ever used these coatings in the marine application?

Thanks

Yep I do, Absolutely beautiful but... Fragile. Easy to scratch and it flakes off around bolt holes.

You going with Scott at American Coatings in LA?

Did the Valve covers and air cleaners here.

I was thinking about it but I am not sure. I was thinking polished aluminum, but I hear their hard to keep and deteriorate over time. I was going to go with Scott. In your opinion how does this coating compare to real chrome? Also, do you have any more pics?
Thanks

Better looking than chrome, not as tough, better than just polished in the maintenance. Headers are stainless as a comparison.

Did you consider the Endurashine?

Is that the aircraft coating from a guy here in Washington state?

If so, yes, it is very, very technique sensitive. I tried to use it on brand new wheels. Could not decontaminate them enough to prevent fisheyes. Tried everything.

I'm kind of partial to them myself.
I'm still running the original Chris Craft 427 FE sideoilers in my cruiser. It's just kinda difficult fining parts.
