Sidney Schwartz Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I got the C1 Metallizer powder. Before I try it I'd like to know if I can remove it if I don't like it, or am I stuck with it? The powder came with no instructions or information. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I have the stuff on order from C1 in the UK (missed their table at NNL-East until after they'd sold out of the metalizer), but from all descriptions I suspect that the metalizing powder somehow becomes rather embedded into the painted surface itself, which could well mean stripping the body (or parts) with whichever stripper works with that paint, and repainting. Just a couple of pennies worth.... Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Schwartz Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks, Art. Stripping would be fine...I've been doing lots of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Schwartz Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 The first photo shows the results I got with the metallizer applied over grey primer. Not bad, but a bit too dark for my taste. (My camera didn't do a very good job of picking up the color.) I'm told I can get better results applying it over light blue paint. I'll try that some other time. Removing the metallizer was no different than stripping paint. The rest of the photos show the parts I sprayed with Krylon Metallic Original Chrome, also over grey primer. Pretty good, I think. I'm going to stick with that for now.
