I recently did some testing with the Prism effect clear from the Duplicolor Paint Shop line. Here's the results.

Here's the product in question.

This is what it looks like in the can.

I did 6 tests, all using Duplicolor FP101 primer as the base. 4 of the tests were done using Perfect Match for the next coat, the final 2 were done using Testors and Tamiya hobby laquers. All the base coats were done with spray cans.

Chrysler GunMetal Gray

Toyota Black Metallic

GM Light Driftwood Metallic

GM Ultra Silver Metallic

Testors One Shot Aztec Gold

Tamiya Red Metallic

In addition, I did a second test using a candy red (Transparent Kandy Red Kustom Kolor) over the prism clear. Got a heavy metal flake effect, especially with the black and Gunmetal bases.

As mentioned, all the bases were rattle can. The clear and the candy red were both shot using a Paasche Model V with the #5 tip/needle, using 12-15 psi. There was no adverse effect using this clear, or the regular Duplicolor clear, over the hobby laquers. I have not tested them with enamels yet, but I will be trying it soon.

 

 

Went to the last local car show earlier today. Go Figure, it rained pretty much the entire time. There was still a pretty good turnout. All the vehicles present were driven there, which made for an intersting drive home for some of them. My neighbor, who owns the green Model A, not only had to deal with not having a top, but also the lack of wet weather perfomance of the cheater slicks that he's running.

I was at the the American Grafitti Car Show last night at our local airport, and spotted this Advance Design Chevy.

Long Live RUST!
