Where can I findSpaz Stix chrome spray?

[Johnt671]

I've read in a few threads about Spaz Stix or Alclad chrome spray  which would be great of me as I don't have an airbrush. I've used Alclad II with a brush and it worked out OK. but I think the spray can would be better. I've searched several  hobby vendors but nothing turns up for either brand in spray form. So I'm not sure if I'm looking for something that isn't made or if the threads are referring to air brushing  as spraying. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Thanks a lot. I just ordered the black base coat, spray and clear coat for it.

You can also get Spaz-Stix at hobby shops that carry  R/C stuff, as the paint is made to use on clear Lexan bodies.

Hobby Town carries it.

Thanks for the help. No Hobby Town around here, but there is an R/C shop very close. I'll check him out when I need a resupply.

I've found it on Amazon as well.

Would you mind posting some pics when you are done painting? I'm curious how well the chrome look is after it's cleared.

[Johnt671]

Sure will. I have a couple of grills in my spare parts that I'll try it on.

Id like to see it used as well,  Thanks

I found it in a R/C hobby shop in Oshawa, On, Canada,  Haven't tried it yet.

There are a number of posts where Harry shows his results. Right now, this is the only one I can find.  http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/114814-alclad-chrome-arrrrgghhh/

He said he didn't clear it. I want to see what it looks like with clear on it. I've read conflicting opinions on whether the clear turns it back to a plain silver or not.

good luck finding something you can clear.

The clear coat and base coat shipped from CA Friday, and the chrome spray shipped today from the same state. All should be here by Saturday. I'm going to find and strip a grill so I'm ready when it gets here.

I have to give a thumbs up to E-bay seller RPP Hobbys. I ordered the base and clear coats from the around noon EST Friday. They shipped from CA that day and were here in todays mail. Super fast!!!

I didn't forget about this, but the chrome spay didn't get here yet. This item was ordered from the west coast as the cans in the above post. I sent the seller a message yesterday, didn't get a reply yet, it's been about 27 hours now. I know they got the message because the tracking number I received Monday showed no movement until around 2 AM today. The shipment isn't due until Saturday, but the order from RPP wasn't due until Friday but got here Monday. The really sad part is that the RPP cans cost a bit over 9 bucks with shipping, and I got a discount for a combined order, where this order was close to 16 bucks. Even though the delivery isn't due until Saturday I think this is poor service.

 

At least I've had time to read up on chrome stripping.

I finally got the time to do this. It's my first time working with this stuff but it worked out nice. I sprayed the base coat first, and then several light coats of the chrome paint followed by one heavier coat. Here's how it came out:

I cleared the left side of the grill to show both ways together.

I don't see much difference in the picture, but to my old eyes the cleared side looks a little smoother and just a bit less shiny the uncleared, but I can't see much of a difference from side to side. I botched the second photo up so I'll try again tomorrow. Maybe the difference will show more after it dried overnight.

That's where I got it. About $16 shipped.
