You just tell it like it is and that is what keeps me coming back to this channel for advice. If you end up testing some clear coats on this, please post the results, would be very interested. Being a lacquer I would expect it to behave much like the allclad chrome, but you never know until you try.

I remember watching a promotional video where they were demonstrating a automotive spray on chrome and what comes out of the spray gun is less than 1% their chrome pigment and the rest is deionized water So the 14 to 1 thinner to paint actually makes sense

@andrewamann2821 Жыл бұрын

That sort of ratio makes sense, when you consider how metallic paints function. Reducing the concentration keeps the flake (usually, but not always, mica...) from interfering with itself, and settling at angles not parallel or tangent to the surface that you're painting. It also makes the medium/binder less of a factor in getting the flake to lay down. You're never going to get it perfectly mirror reflective, but you can get impressively close with a combination of thin layers and wet sanding, basically just knocking back the high spots naturally created by the mica flake, and getting as close as possible to a glass-smooth surface through a process like this.

This is awesome!! Alclad is too delicate for a good candy finish, imo... I wonder if this would keep the chrome shine under a clear color 0.0

@ryo86ok Жыл бұрын

Similar to painting NMM, surfaces appear more reflective when there are more shadows. The highest value (ie. brightness) is the same on all spoons from the light source, but thinning appears to preserve the shadow value (the black underneath) thereby increasing contrast and "shiny-ness".

Interesting as always. The top 10 chromes for finishes and they’re reaction to varnish / durability would be so useful. I’m planning on down chrome painting for a new 40k army and I’m concerned about the durability of the chrome options you’ve explored

@BAMACOUPE Жыл бұрын

The effect seems to be the same as when you shoot fades. By adding so much thinner, you're reducing the amount of paint in each pass of the airbrush. Since the metallics want you to shoot very light coats, the thinned paint is essentially spraying even less than you normally would. Thanks for the tip!

You can do this technique with Vallejo metal color chrome . The ratio is even higher, more thinner to paint. Lots of passes and drying time between coats. I remember you weren't impressed with the chrome from metal color but using this technique I can see some reflection in it. It's obviously no alclad. Try it out.

Cool tip. I generally like the super metallics. Trying to get alclads in my country is tough. And generally trying to find a proper chrome paint is tough. I even tried using chrome paints in cans for cars. They work, but just like the super metallics demo'ed here, if you put too many layers it starts to become cloudy and dull. Looks fine, but not chrome. it would be cool if you could do a short follow up video, just to compare "actual" chrom paint with this technique. Just to see the difference. I think this trick would work really well in most situations.

I don't use laquer based paints but pro modellers have mentioned thinning Mr Color at 20% paint. From what I can see the black gloss of the spoon is contributing to 50% of the result.

@johnblack9885 Жыл бұрын

Well yeah the opaque gloss black is contributing most of the result because the chrome has been thinned out giving it opacity while the opaque gloss black helps reflectivity of the chrome. That’s how they make mirrors.

I've watched a lot of your videos and thank you for sharing the methods in spraying. To me there really is only 1 Chrome paint on the market. SPECTRA CHROME. The parent company is based in Tampa Florida. it is sprayed over a black shiny base. You wash off the material with distilled water and leave to dry in 70 degree heat. You can then clear coat it which turns it a slight yellow tint. You just add a dash of blue to the lacquer and give it a good thick coat. It is a perfect chrome finish. I need to spray some bumpers on a 55 Cadillac and been considering other methods as we do not have a Spectra Chrome firm in Ireland. If anybody has any contacts for the Spectra Chrome liquids, I'd love to hear from you........MO

Just a tip, DO NOT PRE THIN PAINT & KEEP IT If your paint is getting old & start losing its original oil/thinner/media, immidiately thin it & use it or throw it away The thing is, thinner will chew its original oil/media that kept the paint fresh, so only thin paint you'll use, never pre thin paint you'll use MUCH later, like 3 or 2 month later Its okay to keep pre thin paint for 2 weeks
