I have been tempted, for years now, to try restoring a frame using products from Alsa Corporation. I've spoken to CyclArt, Joe Bell, and Brian Baylis, about these products, but no-one of them has taken the plunge yet and tried them.
I have a restoration upcoming that might really benefit from these paints, but I'd love to know if anyone here has any experience with the Alsa MirraChrome system. It looks really good, better than any Alsa chrome paint has looked yet. It can be sprayed from a normal industrial spray machine, requires no special prep. For those projects that could work without real chrome, the system looks awfully tantalizing.
Also, in perusing the Alsa site recently, I came across a brand new product from them: http://alsacorp.com/
Alsa paints in a spray-can! Makes me want to run right out and find a cool old frame that's utterly trashed and try restoring it with these paints! It'd be an enormous amount of work...but very satisfying, I imagine.
I don't really have time for it. But, it's tempting. Maybe someone here with more time than I have will try the Alsa Killer cans and report back to us?
