APL22404
APL22404 Chrome effect, anthracite
Single-pack solvent-borne decorative paint with a chrome effect in an anthracite (dark graphite) shade: a highly pigmented metallic enamel with strong metallic sheen and mirror-like reflection. Imitates chrome plate / metal leaf without precious metals. Gives a smooth, fade-resistant film but is less abrasion-resistant than 2K enamels, so parts that see wear get a clear acrylic topcoat (which dulls the effect). Interior use only.

- 13–16 s DIN4recommended
- Coats
- 1–2 тонких сплошных слояrecommended
Spray over a smooth gloss base (Technocolor schedule: gloss lacquer over black enamel). Cross-coat, 50 % overlap, keep moving. Never sand the chrome layer.
Conventional spray
Dealer specifies spray-gun application.
Brush
- Consumption
- выше, чем при распыленииrecommended
Small details and touch-ups only; soft brush, one direction, don't overwork.
Aerosol topcoat reference
For parts in service the dealer suggests the ATL70 aerosol restoration lacquer as protection.
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- Smooth, clean base; for full mirror: PPS50277 primer → RAL 9005 black enamel → ATL21226 gloss lacquer → chrome → ATL21226.catalog
- Topcoat effect
- Перекрытие лаком снижает декоративный эффект / меняет эффект (особенно глянцевым лаком). / Clear-coating reduces/changes the effect, especially gloss lacquer.dealer
- Sanding
- Шлифовать только подложку (глянцевый лак — P800–P1200 до полной гладкости или вообще не шлифовать, если он ровный). Слой хрома не шлифовать и не полировать.recommended
- Temperature and humidity
- 15–25 °C, RH ≤ 70 %recommended
- Don'ts
- don't use on high-wear surfaces without a protective clear
- don't lay it on thick — the mirror effect dies
- don't sand or polish the chrome layer
- not for exterior use
