I used your method on two of my action figures. The first was my Fox Kids Transmetal Tarantulas from Beast Wars. It didn't really do anything for the chrome parts of him (which are sadly chipping) but the plain gray plastic parts actually look like metal now and almost none of it rubs off. The second was my Revenge of the Sith Count Dooku figure; he came with a cape made of crappy, cheap-looking gold fabric. I dunked the cape it the powder, rubbed it off with a cloth, left it in a plastic bag for a day, rinsed the excess powder off, and voila, it's closer to the dark brown that it's supposed to be. Many thanks!

What a fantastic idea 👍👏. I got the graphite powder, did it. Looks great, rewatched your video, forgot to seal it first 😅. Ordered some Modge Podge sealer, think I'll hit it again with the powder. But even with just powdering, then buffering, I got great results. Thanks very much 👍 😎.

I always love to see new things that I haven't tried. To test it out. I'm curious about it rubbing off or scratch off. How durable is it and how does it adhere to the plastic? Can it be used on vehicles? And what types of plastics don't work for this?

If the figure is already silver, then there is no need to prep the joints. Plus, the powder is so thin that there isn't any build-up in the joints.

lets say i wanted to do some linework with a gundam marker to a figure should i do this before or after to get the armor on the figure to shine & will it cause any compliations ???
@CollectorExpress
@CollectorExpress 2 месяца назад
Is it a paint or ink marker? I've painted over this type of finish without any issues, but I doubt ink would work. If you were to apply the gundam marker before it might show up through one treatment of the powder, but it definitely would get covered up if you applied more than one coat.

So the first steps is to paint it silver then clear coat then polish with the powder or clear coat only then polish with graphite powder?
@CollectorExpress
@CollectorExpress Год назад
Both are correct. If it's not already silver paint it silver, then gloss clear coat it, and then polished on the powder. If it's already silver or gray, apply gloss clear to it, and then apply the powder and polish.

how long do you have to wait before you clear coat ? generaly anything crome you cant touch for hours
@CollectorExpress
@CollectorExpress 3 месяца назад
With this method, you don't seal it afterward. And you can handle it right away after you are done. You may need to re-polish after excessive handle, but it's pretty durable.
@CrowemagModelWorks
@CrowemagModelWorks 4 месяца назад
Do you top coat after, as well?

With the graphite powder I don't apply any top coat afterwards. It's pretty durable as it is, but if does dull out after handling it you can always re-polished back to a chrome like like shine.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a sealer that will keep the chrome-like finish. It's pretty durable without it, but it will dull down after excessive handling, but you can always re-polish it.
