Modo Paints are finally available here in the US and with that I will be testing them out.
Here is Part 1 of my Modo Paint test. For the first part I will be testing their Chrome and Gold plate. These came in a nice box that included The Chrome, Gold and Gloss Black base. Also included is a few buffing clothes. These are high quality lacquer paints as shown here after this early test.
I was thrilled to hear Modo is now here in the US. And the bonus is that it's a great website with great prices and a wonderful woman, Bella running it.

I can say it is the best Modo's paint explanation across youtube included Asian's side. I am sure you will be thrilled by their regular MX series as well.

I know Chinese and they said about the Silver is the more layer you put the more white silver you can get but not more shiny. I guess their translation is a bit off...LOL And X-22 they meant Enemal, not the arcylic one :D

@Warshipmodelsunderway 3 года назад

I just checked out the website. Prices seem very fair, and free shipping over $ 28.00 is very nice. That's the good. Not knowing who or where I'm ordering from, or the time it will take to arrive makes me reluctant to place an order. There are some dead ends and bugs in the site too, especially in the tool section. I'm sure it's early days for them , but if you want to pass this on to Bella, it might help. Thanks for the excellent reviews

@barbatosrex9473 3 года назад

I got my stuff very fast. I asked her about the other paints on the site and she said it's on its way but cargo ship has been in customs awhile now. She knows what's coming thats why she has a coming banner on them. I believe her, my friend owns a hobby wholesale business and most Japanese Asian product is taking forever. His Bandai and Tamiya sections are empty, he's had product back ordered for 6 months

@@barbatosrex9473 If she is in the States she should mention that on the site; it is a marketing advantage. I totally understand about the shipping times due to COVID and the ramifications of that on supply chains. No worries, I'm sure I will try that paint at some point, sure looks good!

Robert, did you try the MODO gold over Alclad chrome? If so what happened? Learning so much in your videos.

@barbatosrex9473 2 месяца назад

I did it came out great

@parnashwind 3 года назад

I find the Modo Super Black very resilient. What I mean is when I try different chrome paint on different black bases, the Modo Super Black retains its reflectiveness the best. If I put chrome over other black paint and compare them closely, the chrome reflection is not as sharp as the Modo Super Black base because it is just more resilient.

@barbatosrex9473 3 года назад

My first test of it here tells me the same. It's awesome

@joeybagodonuts1008 3 года назад

great video as usual, the gold over light silver produced a "black gold" or antique gold finish. really liked the colors no matter what they went over, but totally get what you said about the results not matching with the actual instructions, maybe its a translation issue. would be interesting to see if the manufacturer has some more info/video that demonstrates what they mean in the instructions.
