Training Manual
Decorative Chrome — The Complete Training Manual
A 47-page, plain-language training manual for the bright, mirror decorative chrome finish on a nickel undercoat — covering BOTH traditional hexavalent and modern trivalent chrome — written in a friendly, “for-dummies” style that assumes zero prior knowledge. Teaches the whole line: cleaning, the all-important semi-bright/bright (duplex) nickel undercoat that does the real corrosion protection, the thin micro-discontinuous chrome cap, throwing power and coverage, and quality checks (CASS, salt spray, STEP). Safety is integrated into every station — including full hexavalent-chromium (Cr VI) hazard control where the shop runs hex chrome. Ends with a 20-question completion test, answer key, and a printable certificate of completion.
