Theo Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi allUnusually question. I am starting a new project with some brass finish parts. I have been experimenting with spray can brass (specifically Rustoleum) but not getting the "metallic shine" I desire. I know that Alclad has a high shine brass, but I do not have an airbrush. I do have those disposable Preval sprayers. The Alclad instructions call for it to be sprayed at 15-20 psi. The Preval sprayers go at around 60-70 psi. Anyone have any idea what would happen spraying the Alclad at 60-70 psi?Thanks for any information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgbben Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 My guess is that it will dry before it hits the plastic and create a coarse finish, similar to 120 grit sandpaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragline Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 That's what I was thinking. I spray Alclad at 8psi in a fairly constant short fanning motion to achieve my results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I shoot Alclad at real low pressure. About 5 or 6 psi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kucaba Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Have you considered Testors Brass metallizer? aerosol or bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
