Testing Green Stuff World Chrome Metal Paint - Brushed & Airbrushed - Awesome Results ! 

I never buy a drop of paint before I check if you tested them in a video first. Gotta get a hold of some of this one. Great video as always, keep on going brother.

I forgot to mention that I'm 63 yrs old and retired now and still learning many new and interesting things on You tube including your paint tests. Keep it up so I can lean even more from your experience. I have many woodworking, construction and automotive skills but you can always translate new and different skills to those and other projects as well. I'm just beginning to get into detailed painting for my future guitar and car projects. Your insight is invaluable for those.

I can't wait for the Wicked Colors Chorme Gold. I've been dying for you to test that one since you first showed it to us quite a while ago. Thanks for the amazing videos! You're an absolute lifesaver for us! I've recommended you and your channel to so many people.

Excellent overview! I'm impressed with this chrome for sure.. loved it ! I've already got plans for a fully chromed out '57 in 1/24 scale with this "Green Stuff" chrome. Usually companies chrome lines just come out a silvery toy looking metal, not a true chrome look like these. Keep up the epic content brother !

Consistently the most informative model related videos on You Tube. Thanks again for the great info.

Wow, there are so many great chrome paints coming out lately.

Oh man. I love to see this paint tests in paint brands I never try before. Amazing work!!

I love how excited you are about this lol especially when you pulled out your new brush holder. I'm the same! Great vid, thanks man

Never disappoints, as always. That Ruby Red Candy was beautiful.

You make excellent, informative videos. Keep up the good work, thanks!

I bought this after watching this review and all I can is WOW. The best chrome for hobby and cheap, with no smell. So glad you reviewed and Green Stuff World makes an excellent Yoda green acrylic for the airbrush as well. I used it to paint my life sized 3D printed Master Yoda and it is spot on. Keep up the great work and I can't understand how you don't have 500K subscribers? Your reviews are the best there is and you are truly helping makers and hobbyists up their games man.

I really enjoy your videos,keep them coming, just bought my first airbrush and you are a teacher

Thanks Barbados for another great video you have me convinced on that green stuff chrome will buy some thank you sir love all your videos I think they’re the best !

I find his tests honest and unlike some others he gets on with it. Saves me wasting money at a time when every penny counts . Thanks.

Awesome, really beautiful chrome, in my end, it's sold!!!great review as always...👍👍👍👍

Great review - Green Stuff looks like pretty good stuff.

Got the Airbrush color yesterday and tried it out right away. +++ Absolutely fantastic +++. Very easy to use and great result. Even on an untreated spoon, i.e. without primer or black gloss, an amazing chrome shine. THX!!!

That’s some amazing looking paint. I will be ordering some immediately. Thanks!👍👍

I sprayed the brushable chrome paint in. I sprayed it heavy and it came out great! I love this stuff! Thanks

Great review! I got some of the “dab-on” type and found the results could be somewhat lumpy. Like you said, if you try to brush it out, it messes with the mirror effect. Since the stuff is alcohol based, I cleaned my brush with alcohol and tried again. Apparently, I had just enough alcohol left in my brush to affect the surface tension because when I dipped the brush in the paint it instantly self-leveled! I experiment with it some more and found out that if you have a lumpy surface, if you dip your brush in 91% IPA and then just touch the lumps, it self levels right on the piece! Initially, it looks like the mirror effect is shot but wait a few seconds and it returns! Give that a try!

Awesome review as always, thanks for sharing this, man …..and thank you for your time👏

wow that looks amazing. Thanks Rex!

Thanks. I bought a bootle of this a month ago. Couldn’t find a review/test until now. Looks impressive

Dude...Sir...your reviews are stellar!

Great video. Love your tests on all the chrome paints. Any chance you can have a chart of chrome that you recommend for shine, durability and cost. Keep up with the great videos!

Thanks for the video! I had to purchase some immediately. I'll figure out what to use it on later.

Thank you for sharing this information. I am making lures and I was wondering how to mirror my lures without foiling, and this is really a good-looking job.

My friendly local game shop sold me on the GSW chrome by telling me that many mini painters won't use it because it looks like an a actual chrome piece on your otherwise painted piece. I'm glad to see your video concurs with that.

I just ordered 2 of each from their website. Can’t wait!

I agree with the others that it looks great. I have tried molotow liquid chrome and spaz stix chrome. I am actually planning on repairing spots on chrome wheels so I would love to see a showdown of Alclad, Molotow, Spaz stix and this one, plus best clear coat.

Danke dir vielmals für diesen Test!

Holy shit! That’s better than Molotow! I started using Spaztix but I’ll definitely be ordering this! Great to see more companies making durable mirror chrome paints!

I like the way you put the link on where a person can order from. Great job on the how do’s.

Excellent work!

Lol I have tried brushing that $ tree brand of acrylic paint and it turned out to have a semi gloss finish to them not to bad and went on fairly well. But airbrush is a very different medium and you are the man who can make it worth the buck or not. Another great video always look forward to seeing more.

Man...i am so impressed with this product and Barbatos rex. Thank you for the video!

They have a store on Esty also, but they ship from their warehouse in Spain. Looks like great stuff. I almost bought some of their shifts, but ending up going with Turbo Dork because of a specific color combo I needed. I'll have to get some of their paint to try out sometime.

This video was very helpful. i just bought some of the chrome metal . i wanted the airbrush one but i got the other one. but it works.

Thanks for a great video!

Love that chrome! I'll have to get some of that.

Hola Barbatos, once again a lot of tips and hints coming out from your shop. I feel like I'm discovering a huge world of paints variety for my hobbies with you... I was happy using with my Createx/Wicked (I have almost every colour) with my lures, but I realize that I was short. I have to try other brands for painting my lures. Now I'm waiting for your Ink testing. When are you planning to do it? Even though I have almost everything I need, I wish to live in the USA to have easy access to all those stuffs. It is incredible. I really enjoy your vids...thanks.

Thank you for testing all those relatively expensive chrome paints for us so we can make an informed decision om which to us depending on application. I have learned a lot from your videos even though I haven't built models for quite a while but am now getting into rebuilding and modifying electric guitars and want to paint them in a chrome with a candy color over for the colored chrome effect and don't want to spend more on the paint job than I have in the rest of the guitar. I started with a cheap Chinese built Starcaster/Strat I got for under $100 and modifying it heavily....I had thought that the Molotow liquid chrome was best until you tested the Allclad chrome line and was blown away by the results and when cleared over with the pledge brand floor clear which I understand is an acrylic, it will save me a lot of cash. I plan to test with a mini spray gun and an airbrush to see which will yield the best results on a test piece as the guitar body is so much larger than your tiny model kit pieces but I think the methods and techniques you use will translate well for my purpose, and if I can save by not having to buy paints in bulk, but mixing in small batches for each project, it may cost a bit more per each paint job but save waste overall and yield better results overall. I plan to experiment with mica powers in different ratios in clear to see if less mica added will result in iridescent clear colors or candy colors as a result and if mixing colors of mica results in different colors of color shifting mixtures. you might try that on camera for us to see the potential results.

AMAZING and thank you for this video. Did you use just a regular gloss black Spray paint as a base?

Nice presentation! Can the chrome be top coated with two part clear epoxy? Thinking it would be great for painting fishing lures.

gReat review, I just bought myself 3 bottles. Lukyly I live in Spain so could get them locally. Have you tried to gloss coat it? I know the Molotow can be coated with Tamiya and Revell enamel gloss varnish, but have you tried what goes well with this one?

I bought a few of the same brush racks at my local Dollar Tree. I cut the "legs" down on one for shorter length tools.

Gracias por compartir tu esfuerzo y tu tiempo. Excelente video muy valioso

⭐️ great review 😎 ⭐️ thanks 👍

Thanks, I will have to try this brand. All my Vallejo paints don't come close to real chrome.

I love this stuff. I’ve got a lot of my nascar friends using this. I did a full body spray out using the brushable chrome and it came out amazing. I laid a medium coat first, then a heavy coat. You should really do a spray out of the brushable chrome, you’ll like it!👍👍

thanks for the tip about dabbing on the brush version. I tried that one and made the mistake of brushing instead of dabbing and the finish was streaky like you showed.

Hey Mr Rex.....another great video. Two questions, one, if you had to choose just one chrome paint what would it be. Two, how do you think your automotive 2K clear would work on that chrome.

Saw 3 of them at my local hobby shop and was so exited to see they had 4 botles there. So took the 3 i wanted en walked exited to the counter. They looked at me suprised as they only got a few to test it out they wanted to know why i was so exited. And i reffered them to your video

I've ordered direct from GSW in Spain, I'm in the US. It arrived in about 3 weeks.

Howdy, love your vids man. I'm currently kinda lost trying to find a nice, shiny looking & durable chrome paint for my car project. Im planning to paint grill, door handles & some exterior trim pieces. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you.

Awesome video as always. I purchased the green stuff airbrush chrome impulsively and truly not expecting it to be any good. It is fantastic! It has Avery high reflective shine and is very easy to use straight out of the bottle. It’s pretty durable too. I did a head to head against Gaia notes. The Gaia notes chrome was maybe 10% more reflective, however green stuff beats it in price and availability (I think Gaia notes is 3-4xs the cost of green stuff) . The best chrome color I ever used was the Kcolor shine chrome, but that company is now defunct. green stuff airbrush chrome is now my go to. I can see using the Brush chrome to touch up plated parts. It will most likely be better than the Molotow pen.

these look great!

Wery nice video Barbatos! ICM holding has released their own waterbased acrylics maybe you are going to test them?

half tempted to try to put the brushable paint in a empty refillable paint marker. great vid bud!

The spoon you had OLD wrote on looked the best. The other two looked darker.

Awesome video! Sorry if I missed it but what gloss black primer did you use on the spoons? They are really nice and reflective before you spray the chrome.

Wow, I’ve had that exact orange/black Estes Rocket on my bench for like decades….My Son and I flew it a couple dozen times. 🚀

Where's the video of putting clearcoat on top of that Chrome, looks great

Nice vid!!!!! 👍👍👍

Great review, I like gsw , just finished painting with their interference paint, definitely recommend it , I'm going to pick up some of that chrome, looks really good 👍🙂

You should check out more of Green Stuff World! Their pigment Gold is absolutely beautiful

I really like gsw paints. Chameleons and candys are really good..easiest candys to use for sure. I just wanted to know what kind of black base coat you are using?

these would be great for cool custom car models

Hi, great video. I'm hoping you can help me out. I've used the Crome metal brush on paint but I'm finding once dry, it becomes dull and loses it's shine when touched handled. Would you know why this is ?

A brilliant video thank you. Would it still work over sprayed with candy colours then clear coat it?

How durable is the airbrush version? Does the airbrush version have to go over gloss black? Is it OK over Alclad Gloss Black? Is there a clear coat that works over this without turning it silver?

That fantastic !! , Would you please test what nitro fuel and castor oil would do to the chrome ? , I wonder if you could use it on a running model.

Thank you for sharing,I clean all my cars with Alcohol it works super good, can't wait to use thous alcohol paint 🎨👋👍👍

I wonder if you sprayed the metal filter gold over the chrome, would you get a gold chrome?

This looks like it works like SMS Hyperchrome Cold Tone. The SMS stuff I use you mist it on in 3-5 really light coats and then buff off the haze. And the SMS Hyperchrome you can spray over any color as long as it is gloss.

My results for what it's worth. Sprayed three spoons with tamiya x1, x4, x14. Light mist coats produced a dull aluminum look on the first two. The x14 , a sky blue produced a nice nickel chrome. Very pleased with that, but after twenty four hours I could easily rub it off with my finger. The dull aluminum ones would not rub off. I sprayed 2 k clear over the x14/chrome spoon. It turned into a silver. Any thoughts?

I am wondering if you have done any paint tests on the Createx Line of paints in the Pearlized paints or the Wicked Colors pearl paints? I like the way that You do your paint tests.

When I spray this I get what looks like fine black specks on my spoon. It looked like it was maybe poor coverage from the chrome flake and gloss black primer coming though. But when I spray some more it just dulls it out with the black specks still present. Still is there after I buff it as well. Wonder what I'm doing wrong. Maybe a psi issue? When I spray molotow unthinned it looks fine. Will try alclad soon

Another great test! Correct me if I'm doing but this is the first acrylic (even alcohol based) legit Chrome! Very intriguing, but so annoying that this Michigan place won't give you any commission, seeing as I'm sure this video is going to give them a lot of business

Great review l just bought a bottle today

Thanks

did you use a clear coat? how did it turned out? is there a video?

qué barniz utilizas para no perder el brillo del cromado y asín protegerlo una vez que esté terminado Gracias

Great Video! How does this stuff compare to Mr Metal Color's chrome? I have been using Mr Colors chrome lately and it wasn't giving me the finish i wanted. However that was probably just me being impatient spraying too heavy.

I wonder if these can be mixed with other colours or just other colors on top.

Great video! What's a good clear to use over black 3d printed resin? I have some 3d printed parts to "chrome" and don't want to use a black base. Thanks!

I masked and airbrushed Green Stuff Airbrush Chrome over MCW 2K Clear Coat which was over MCW Gloss Black Enamel. This was for the chrome trim on my '50 Oldsmobile. It sprayed and dried beautifully, until a few days later, when areas of the chrome DISAPPEARED! I've had to remask and airbrush all the chrome trim with my old reliable - Molotow Chrome, after throwing the Green Stuff in the trash.

This would make either a set of the Reading Crusader or The California Zephyr look very realistic.

can you review acrysion, been considering wich one to get between vallejo.

Good video. What is a good air brush gun.

I tried this paint, then stumbled onto this video. I like the paint & I'm not a fan of acrylic paint since the Model Master line is off the market. Dries flat & even. Only color I've used so far is orange for a test plane & Navy jet trainers. I found it sloppy to clean out airbrush (my reason for dislike of acrylic paints). I recommend using a reducer to slow drying in the airbrush, kept clogging my 5mm needle. until i added reducer. I also kept a long stick gun cleaning swab & water to keep spray tip cleaned up. I prefer an external mix airbrush for spraying acrylics. Although I have my issues with this paint, I'm very happy with the results. These issues are unique to ME! Pigment seems very fine & plentiful, nice coating & like there is more than just orange, flame orange I liked best.

I bought my grandson a matt black polymer BB revolver. I'd use a clear gloss for primer. I'd also have to brush it on because I have a 60 gallon 2 stage compressor that fills my semi tires well, but would blow up airbrush systems real quick. Sir Barbatos Rex, how can I seal it tight, because it would be manhandled many times in it's life?

Just ordered some cheap on eBay can't wait to try it , love using the Uschi power I got but pointless as you can't even look at it without it marking...!! and if you coat it well then it's just simply a shiny dark silver gray but this looks like my simple and inexpensive durable answer. I'm in the UK and you don't know how lucky you are can't even get Tamiya in anything but 10ml mini's here so frustrating when you have to get multiple bottles just to do a couple of large models it sucks ,and many things not even available to even try at all unless you wait a month to get from abroad ...later bud

Thank you for the video. Very good tips with these products. What about the airbrush cleaning before using alcohol based paints? It's easy? Do not stuck the airbrush or something? Thank you.

Where do you buy the white spoons? These days i can only find transparent or wooden spoons.

Hi,I'm interesting about order same Mr.Hobby airbrush,but as i have some Iwata too,i just want to know if the Mr.Hobby have the same compatibility for the "quick connection/hitch" of the air cable via the compressor ?thanks a lot !

In my opinion GSW is the best all around chrome. I’m including ease of use, the ability to strip and re-spray. Spraying car parts in chrome, in reality, is a little tricky to get right.

Maybe I missed it? What gloss black base did you use?

Going on my BMW fiberglass tank soon, glad I was an airbrush kid.

Lol this video reminded me i ordered some stuff from michtoy and they attached a slip of paper for an item saying it was backordered and it would come in 3-4 weeks. That was back in april and they never sent me anything
