Hi guys,
So I'm having a nightmare with trying to get a good finish with Alclad Chrome. I think I'e tried just about every variable, option, method I can find and I just can't seem to get a mirror, chrome finish.
I've tried alclad gloss black as a base, absolutely perfect finish. I've tried a white base coat with a clear over the top to give a super glossy white base. I've changed pressures, changed flow mixtures, drying times, everything I can think of and each time i get a dull, silver finish.
A new issue I'm getting is the airbrush is clogging as I'm painting, so half the time I'm just getting air, then if i increase the mix I get a big blob of paint sprayed out. I'm also getting some spatter. I'm using a Badger sotar 20/20, fine needle, about 10-12 psi.
Sorry for what are some probably terribly obvious mistakes, I'm new to airbrushing, very new to alclad but desperate to learn and improve and I know someone here will be able to tell me where I'm going wrong!
Many thanks
Jon
