Clear over Revell Chrome

[afxawb2]

I normally use Future for most of my clearing. What do you guys recommend? I do not have an airbrush. Any help would be appreciated-if it has previously been on Forum I apologize.

The best clear for Revell Chrome I’ve used is Spaz Stix 10909 Ultimate Clear Coat. Minimal reduction in shine compared to other clear coats, but it does tone down the brightness a little bit.

All of the brightwork above, with the exception of the photo etched catwalk, exhaust mesh, and the engine parts, was done with Revell Chrome and Spaz Stix Clear.

This blower has one coat of Revell Chrom straight from the  can. Not sure how long I let it dry…but then it was dipped in pledge twice. The wheel has the kit chrome for comparison.

 

BMF on the left and Chrom with a pledge dip on the right. More info here: https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/181804-revell-spray-chrome-test/page/7/

Interesting about the Pledge.   I had not thought of that.  I gotta try it.

I have used the Alclad Aqua Gloss over the revell chrome,  but it will dull it slightly.  Not bad tho.   But Gregs Pledge treatment sure looks better to me.

But what does one use now that Pledge with Future is no longer available? I would think products from other MFG might have different formulas, different levels of gloss, etc.

There is a mega-thread sticky on the forum about this floor finish, and if you look at the most recent pages there should be some alternatives mentioned.

There is a floor finishing product by a US company named Holloway House in a green container.

Works similarly to Johnson's Kleer / Future / Pledge. There is a YouTube video of it being used on a model. Don't know how it would work on Revell Chrome, but maybe worth a try ?
