R. Thorne Posted Thursday at 07:54 PM Posted Thursday at 07:54 PM Have not tried the clear yet, but I like the chrome. I brushed it on with the enclosed brush. I also like that it has an agitator ball included in the bottle. Very easy to use and holds up to handling better than the other products I have tried. 1
Bainford Posted Thursday at 08:29 PM Posted Thursday at 08:29 PM First I've heard of this one. Looks pretty good. Cheers, Ron.
johnyrotten Posted Thursday at 09:21 PM Posted Thursday at 09:21 PM Interesting product. I see it has a laquer top coat. Looking forward to see if it dulls the finish like other products I've read about. Cheaper than molotow as well.
TransAmMike Posted yesterday at 01:05 AM Posted yesterday at 01:05 AM Sure looks good. Wonder how this compares to SMS Hyperchrome. 1
Bugatti Fan Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Interesting product. Looking at the rectangular shaped box in the photo, does it have two bottles in it. The chrome finish itself in one and clear sealant in another. Ron, could you elaborate further with a step by step tutorial on how you used this product? Looks very realistic.
Len Woodruff Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago I have used this using the air brush and the brush in the bottle. Looks as god as Revell chrome. I haven't tried the sealer.
NOBLNG Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago It looks good. My question is how durable is it, and can it be cleared with (something?) with little or no loss of appearance? 2
Mike 1017 Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago I just checked it out on Amazon. Amazon.com: Liquid Silver Leaf Paint Kit - Alcohol-Based Quick Dry Ultra Shiny Metallic Gilding Paint for Crafts, Resin Art, DIY Decor | High Gloss Finish with Varnish | 2 x 30ml Bottles : Arts, Crafts & Sewing
R. Thorne Posted 10 hours ago Author Posted 10 hours ago To clarify a couple things: yes, it comes with 2 bottles; one is the “chrome” and one is the clear; the brushes are made into the cap; the chrome is supposed to dry for 48 hrs before applying the clear. I applied the chrome on these wheel backs a month ago and have intentionally handled them roughly, pressing my finger onto them with a lot of pressure, installing tires on them, etc., with no deleterious effects. This was without the clear. Today, I coated one of the wheel backs with clear (the one on the right with bubbles). I shall leave it alone for a couple days then compare it to the uncoated one. I also painted a couple resin wheels just as they come. 1 2
stitchdup Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago I cant wait to see how it looks once the clear settles. It would be interesting to see how/if it can be overcoated with coloured clears later. I've been hunting for a chrome that can be overcoated for my hok paints.
TransAmMike Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago And now I see Splash Paints has a chrome paint. Anyone use yet?
Bainford Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Thanks for the further info, Ron. I got to say, the initial result looks quite good.
