Bringing this back up because I am in the process of setting up a shop for Cosmichrome. This is the real deal. GM uses them, among other big companies.
If it is applied 100% correct you will have good results if you don't you won't.
Room temp, humidity, water quality everything has to be perfect. I hope to be able to report back by late fall early winter 2011. Environmental issues are a problem also. I'm working on it. Going through about 50 pages of MSDS sheets now.
