This stuff was pretty wild... your thoughts?

@ahyaan2552 Год назад

Would be good for giving a dull finish for chrome trim

@sinformant Год назад

For the price it isn't worth it. Nice faux chrome look, but I think it is on par with alsacorp spray on chrome, which I think you can buff for a better reflection.

@kvharris30 Год назад

I think it would be a awesome look on a car. I think you should do it. I would

@CrossbowROoF Год назад

Coming from the scale model world, I've seen more reflective lacquers designed for model builders. It's good, but I wouldn't say it's the best.

@chipwhitely1490 Год назад

Is the cost worth the trouble? Also say after 5 days is it buffable? Before and seal coat.

@mountainman4410 Год назад

You have to use a water based clear over it. Any solvent based clear will cause the chrome look to turn out looking like a normal silver. The clear I use over it comes from alsacorp. It's what they use over their chrome paints for protection. Also, you are spraying it down way too heavy. It needs very thin dust coats to look really good. I work with an air brush. I have pieces that looks exactly like chrome.

@ralphclark Год назад

Yeah try again following these instructions on a test piece first. There’s no point of it’s just going to be ruined even by a small bug hitting it at highway speed

@anonshrimp8299 Год назад

If try that and it works, I am already imaging the possibilities. If the mirror paint was much easier to get, I could imagine making faux armour or faux weapons for cosplays or for fun.

@jbrandontarr1421 Год назад

Yea I’ve made far more reflective pieces on Gundam kits. You need to use a glossy black as a base. That layer needs to be perfectly smooth. Then you dust on the chrome to build it up. But you don’t lay it down thick. Then after it dries you try to handbuff the shine to come out more. If you’re gonna spray over the top of it with a clear you must use the corresponding paint carrier. Use the wrong one and you’ll lift all the paint up from below it.

@onbedoeldekut1515 11 месяцев назад

@mountainman4410 Can a different coat be applied over the water-based coat?

@oldtimefarmboy617 11 месяцев назад

He is talking about chrome painting a car. Imagine how long it would take to chrome paint a car with an airbrush by yourself. I would bet that where you started would be well past the 24 hour curing period by the time you finished covering a car using an airbrush.

@BillDerr Год назад

I would say to reach out to them about it and see if you can get enough for a car. They may even have ideas on on what you can do to make it even better (better reflectiveness, coverage, durability, etc.). It would be pretty cool to see on a car though! One thing you left out was how well it peeled and if it affected the plastidip under it. I know I've seen people use non-plastidip coatings over plastidip and it become a nightmare to peel.

@marioc87 Год назад

I mean since we aren’t paying for the product I say sure hell yea give it a shot!!! Since I’m not paying for the product; if I was, listening to this video and Fonzie’s reservations. I’d say no don’t even waste the time. The beauty of RU-vid 😂😂😂😂

I know Culture Hustle isn't exactly aimed at car paints, but it's great seeing you use their products on the channel just for experimenting. Even if it isn't for the Mirror paint, I'd love to see what DCY could imagine up with them for a full cross-over video.

@pat30185 Год назад

I think the 3 samples is enough for us to know how it would look on a car. I wouldn't waste your time on it. Instead, I'd try to come up with a water based clear top coat and then once you have that figured out maybe come back and revisit this mirror product.

@ryurc3033 2 месяца назад

@themistoklisanastasiadis Год назад

I think you should try dumping a bottle in clear like you do with pearls, and see what kind of effect you get... are they compatible? does it react weird? is it mirror like? so many questions, and only one way to answer them ;)

@ps3baws Год назад

The solvents in top coat kill the reflection

@dirtywhitellama Год назад

I doubt the solvents are compatible. It's not a dry pigment, it's already in a solution and a pretty specific and powerful one from reading their site. Mixing random solvents is also a good way to die from toxic combination effects too :P

@rod1931 Год назад

The chrome paints I have used in the past were for r/c bodies. The clear lexan body is the top coat, with the chrome paint applied to the inside , and then a black backer is applied. It worked OK, but any smudge, fingerprints, whatever would ruin it. And it was fragile there also with the flexibility of the lexan body. I stick with using it as a hobby or craft paint. Something that won't be handled much.

@jackdurden466 Год назад

My intentions are the same. Only I wouldn’t try it on the flex parts much like you said. Id stick with wheels and possibly chassis. But for a body of 1.5mm lexan or polycarbonate, I can easily see a fail.

@riccochet704 Год назад

I think it would look cool to do the trim on one of the cars with it. Not a whole car though. There are wraps for that.

@kendazley7230 Год назад

I agree

@andrewschyf3825 Год назад

Agreed - a roof, a hood, bottom rocker panels, or a bumper. Not sure a whole car would be worth it. Would also be cool if the manufacturer would do some sort of collab with you.

@alphagt62 Год назад

I think it would look awesome on a motorcycle. The tank and fender on a bobber, or even the complete fairings on a sport bike.

@patprop74 Год назад

Exactly

@Lwah0812 Год назад

It would be cool until the first scratch, this scratches off too easily.

@yowsa90 Год назад

I think it would be great for stripes or other masked off areas in a pattern, but not the whole car due to expense.

@mistermonkey5842 Год назад

TBH I feel this effect is best achieved with a wrap. That said I'd be interested to see what could be done over a wrap with the candys and various pearls, similar to 70's chopper candy and metal flake.

@MrNerv Год назад

Personally, over a wrap.may not be possible as there's nothing for liquid to adhere to? We've seen chrome cars in the real world, wrapped and painted, a 3 series BMW being my best remembered example.

@edwardmylnychuk5774 5 месяцев назад

as an old dud that used to paint his own vehicles, this and a wrap which is new to me looks interesting for a base to put other translucent paints over top, did that with some of my older cars and people thought i had put candy apple paint on when it was just regular paint that was available at the time.

@mistermonkey5842 5 месяцев назад

@edwardmylnychuk5774 check out custom z warriorz and his whole world of metal and candy flake work, I feel like this product (the mirrorioriest paint ever) could be a great base for candy lowrider and chopper themes. not the same effect but if you wanted to play some games with flips and pearls etc. Fonzie, this is your chance to get crazy.

@nikushim6665 5 месяцев назад

Best way is chemical plating spray, you use a two part tollens reagent (same stuff thats used to mirror glass). Then immediately wash it with distilled water and clear coat. You cant let it sit long because its pretty much pure silver it will tarnish rapidly in open air. Its a bit pricey, bit its the most common method for "chroming" body panals. You could wrap, but it rarely comes out looking perfect.

@ConnorSinclairCavin 10 месяцев назад

Their company is generally more than happy to work with artists to test the boundaries of their products, so you could likely get them to even come help make sure that the paint shows its best face, likely at cost so long as they can show how amazing it will look.

@DDTC73 Год назад

Yes, yes and yes!. I've used this and That paint goes so far for such a tiny bottle. The mirror reflection all depends on what you're painting. Your products don't stand a chance against the mirror. Did you spray what was left in the gun? I would guess you probably do 1 coat of a whole car with the bottle via airbrush.

@sandybrandtmurals Год назад

I really appreciate the time and knowledge that you share.

@AshYo Год назад

I know that stuff is insanely expensive, but WOW!!! I saw an artist use this on a mirror and pouring it really yields the best effect. Such as when you poured into the sprayer.

Try it as a pinstripe or stencil on the car, similar to your old marker painted car

@RickPMandel Год назад

It might be s fun experiment. Another thought I had was to see how some clear candies might look over it; the added reflectivity may give them a little more pop. If the folks will give you a couple gallons, I'd love to see it on a car. As a side note. Aren't these the same folks that make the ultimate black, Black 3, I think

@turk71385 Год назад

I think this could possibly shine for refinishing interior trim. I don't know about all manufacturers, but I know in the 80s Ford did "chrome" painted accents on plastic trim in their pickups. Around thhe instrument cluster bezel, carious trim pieces, on the dash vents, etc. The finish I see here looks like a pretty good match for that. Considering how well it appears to cover all the trim in one of my little Rangers could probably be done up with one or two bottles and an airbrush gun. Too bad it doesn't take clear coat, then it might be an option for exterior pieces like refinishing emblems.

@yinyangphoenix Год назад

I would love to see you use this as a base coat for a bunch of different pearls.

@kevinsykes1215 Год назад

I’d say don’t waste your time and money. We can already see this finish comes up short of expectations, so why bother scaling it up? I couldn’t imagine having that on my car and the slightest rock chip from the road strips my entire bumper

I've been waiting for this, it's so awesome. I wanna know how it holds up as automotive paint. I've got one of these projects where I want to "chrome" paint some lettering and pin stripes onto things like the fuel tank, and fenders, and clear coat over it so that it holds up to being ridden as the bike its meant to be. It's a trail bike, but it's also a show bike to some degree. So far I've used rattle can industrial paints for this so far, and enamel clear coats. If this works well as a detailing paint then this might become a custom bike painting thing for me where I go over tear down, cleaning, and touch ups/custom paintings on mini bikes and other fun bike related projects. Can't wait to see the results brother!
