Vacuum Metallizing is the state of the art process of thin film vapor deposition of various metals, like Aluminum and Chrome. 

Paints and Coatings are commonly used in Vacuum Metallizing finishing for various reasons, including: adhesion promotion, substrate surface leveling and protection of the optical film after deposition. These coatings are commonly referred to as Vacuum Metallizing Basecoats, Topcoats and Primers. Follow this link to learn more about VM thin film deposition technology.
