Quantifying Light Reflection and Scatter in Chrome Paint: A Scientific Study

AI Thread Summary
Chrome paint can be used to create mirrors, but its light reflection and scatter properties differ from actual chrome. Quantitative studies on chrome paint's performance are limited, making it difficult to find specific data. Manufacturers may have conducted their own tests and can provide relevant information. Exploring keywords related to light reflection and scatter in chrome finishes may yield better search results. Contacting manufacturers directly is recommended for accurate data.

Hello,

I am think of using chrome paint to create a uniquely shaped mirror. I was wondering if anyone has done studies to quantify how much light is reflected from different types of chrome and how much the light scatter. I realize chrome paint isn't the same as chrome, but I couldn't find numbers for either. But then again, there may be a keyword that I'm missing in the search.

Thanks,
Eric

Yes - the manufacturer has, ask them.
