Does the "chrome" paint wear off or corrode over time?

I bought my first Cuisipro in 2013 and I use it multiple times daily. So far so good. I have had no problems with wear or corrosion. It shines up nicely with a damp cloth.

The "chrome" pump is plastic and mine has not chipped nor color worn off. I use it quite a bit and have had it for about a year.

It seemed more chrome than satin finish. Honestly, it was quite a while ago, but I remember it to be pretty shiny.

I've had it for about 6 mos. I run them in the DW and have had no problems with rust spots or stains.

Mine stays outside and is holding up well. But only have had it for 6 mo. No corrosion or rust. I believe it comes with a 10 year guarantee against that.

Yes, it is chrome in finish, not stainless steel/brushed steel. Stays very shiny and clean.

I don't believe it is an actual chrome plated finish. I think it is stainless steel polished to a shinny bright silver finish. Which makes it VERY durable. While giving it the appearance of chrome. Chrome was used in the 50s and 60s as a plating to protect the metal underneath. Chrome is hard and resists rust better than steel. But chrome can/will rust. Stainless steel has Chromium in it, but is much more resistant to rust.

I doubt any chrome spray paint will last very long on exterior parts, the only way would be to spray Krylon crystal clear over top but it might make it dull.

I have two of these that we've used on our front doors during the spring, summer and fall seasons. They are painted to match the doors (came that way). I cannot answer your question as you've asked it. But, I can say I've seen no sign or any rust on either of them in the two years we've had them. Hope that helps some. Joy

Some spots faded after a while and it attracts magnet (though not 100% accurate test) so I think it's stainless steel. Perhaps just chrome pated!

I have had mine for 2 years & leave it out through Chicago winters. No rust yet.

It does not rust, but from wear on the underneath side of the metal it does not appear to be solid copper, finish rubbed off exposing a pewter color only where it meets the bottom plastic. Wear not visible when assembled and no rust after 3 years of use.

After a long time it did rust, however all you need to do is take a little bit of aluminum foil, wet and scrub the rust right off. It works perfectly and it looks brand new.

Not exactly sure. I installed it over a year ago. I will say however that it is very good build quality, nice exterior finish and no signs of corrosion in the time ive had it.

Installed some time ago and difficult to determine from tapping on the faucet. This is second one I've owned and had no trouble with exterior chrome coating. Replaced first due to plastic diverted breaking.

I would say yes the paint leaves a bright finish but not as bright as a true chrome Don

I don't think it is stainless and it isn't chrome either.I've ridden in the rain and it shows no signs of rusting . I'm sure it could be spray painted and it is made from solid rod steel.

With the friction of the sliding pin and folding arms, the protective coating does wear off. Rust will show up.
