Invented in Italy twenty-five years ago by Pier Carlo Biginelli, Fantachrome has become the industry standard in spray on chrome technology. Sold in 53 countries around the world this amazing product has made major inroads in replacing the expensive, complex and environmentally negative process of conventional electro plating.

Fantachrome, special paint, is an environmentally friendly, water based silver nitrate coating system that produces a hard, durable super bright spray-on chrome finish on a wide selection of substrate materials.

Metals, fibre-glass, polystyrene, stone, ceramic, wood and glass are a few of the many base materials that Fantachrome can be applied to, achieving a mirror like finish that is indistinguishable from electro plated chrome for much less cost. Industries such as custom cars and motorcycles, design and display, store fixtures, architectural and signage, are all perfect candidates for Fantachrome application.

Hues and saturations can be added to the final top coat sealer allowing for brilliant chrome finishes in blue, red, green, purple, gold and many other colours.

Coloured tints across a wide range of hues and saturations can be added to the final top coat sealer allowing for brilliant chrome finishes in blue, red, green, purple, gold and many others.

Because Fantachrome chromed paint is sprayed on using a three stage application (base coat, silver nitrate metallic coat and crystal clear top coat), the size limitations of chroming baths or vacuum chambers do not apply.

1. Is Fantachrome just a paint on chrome or is it actual metal?
2. The chroming process is actually a layer of liquid metal which is sprayed onto the base coat once it has been applied to the substrate. A process known as Catalytic Plating
3. Can I use the Fantachrome system in conjunction with my current spray painting business?
4. Yes it will fit in perfectly and only enhance the application opportunities you can then additionally offer.
5. Is Fantachrome an interior or exterior product?
6. Because Fantachrome is a silver nitrate based coating we recommend using it for products that will be displayed largely indoors. Silver nitrate over time will react to direct sunlight and yellow. For exterior exposure we recommend Suparchrome, which is a chromium based coating (chromed paint) and is not affected by sunlight.
7. Can I get other colours as a finish?
8. A whole range of colours, blue, green, red, purple, bronze, gold etc., are available by adding a selected tint to the final topcoat getting amazing finishing after the spray on chrome.
9. How will I learn to apply Fantachrome?
10. NewfantaChrome will be offering an online, interactive training course that everyone using the product must pass if they are to apply this product. We will also offer in-person training at our Italian plant, by appointment.

Spray on chrome with no special equipment :

SuparchromeTM is the future of spray-on chrome technology specifically for exterior applications. It consists of three step process performed in a standard commercial paint booth with conventional HVLP spray gun technology. The result is a brilliant chrome finish onto a wide range of substrates. It uses a new patented additive that chemically binds the base coat, the middle silver chromium coat and the final clear or tinted top coat to form a single hard, durable and brilliant OEM chrome finish.
