Paint stripping and chipping can happen for three common reasons: edge tape does not fully cover the exposed edge guard, edge tape can bond directly to delicate metallic paint and pull it off during removal, and normal wear and tear from play can slowly chip away at the finish. For many players, this is one of the most frustrating issues with chrome, metallic, and electroplated paddle edge bands—and while manufacturers may acknowledge it, cosmetic paint damage is often not covered under warranty.
That’s why we developed ChromeLock™.
ChromeLock™ is an innovative protective coating designed to solve this problem at the source. It applies a clear, ultra-thin film over the edge guard, creating a durable barrier that helps protect the underlying paint from stripping, peeling, and chipping. Once ChromeLock™ is applied, your paddle’s finish is no longer directly exposed to everyday impact and abrasion.
And when edge tape is installed, the tape adheres to the ChromeLock™ protective layer—not directly to the paint underneath. That means easier tape removal, less risk of paint lift, and a cleaner-looking paddle over time.
Built especially for metallic, chrome, and electroplated finishes, ChromeLock™ also works on standard edge guards to help protect brand markings, graphics, and decals from everyday court wear.
ChromeLock™ — lock in the finish. Lock out the damage.
