BJ has a look at 3 types of chrome paint from Alclad, SMS and Green Stuff World.
These chromes are designed for airbrush application and work best over a high gloss black base.
The base preparation governs the final effect of the chrome so it is very important to have the base as mirror finish as possible before the chrome paint is applied.
The airbrush compressor was set at 18 psi but since filming, a lower pressure works better at around 10 psi.
Alclad is a lacquer based paint leaving a strong odour. Good ventilation is important.
SMS and Green Stuff World are alcohol based and have a very low odour.
Alclad appears to have a finer and more transparent base needing additional coats to match the brightness of the SMS and Green Stuff World chromes.
On close inspection, the Alclad achieves the best reflection quality although both SMS and Green Stuff World chromes are very close on finish.

I've use all of the different chrome paints and Molotow is a winner for me. I don't even use a gloss black base coat and thin it ever so slightly with a lacquer thinners. The results are truly amazing and it's almost like chrome plating. The trick with Molotow is lots of light coats till the chrome look is achieved and let it flash off for a good 2 weeks. If I could upload a pic, you would be amazed at how chrome the finish is.

If Molotow works well for you then that is great! These chromes cure much faster than Molotow.

Thanks so much for the tutorial. I have a Pocher Rolls Royce that I bought from Harrods in 1993 ! It wasnt until I watched this that I had the confidence to spray the extensive number and size of the chrome panels. I achieved an amazing result using Alclad and am so grateful for your guidance, especially the bit about rubbing down at the end of the process. As usual 1 panel needs to go back to the start but my mistake. Many thanks for the guidance.

Thank you for watching and glad it was helpful! I would love to see your Rolls when it is finished.

Alclad is usually a lot more mirror chrome than this. These chromes etch base coats leaving the satin finish. Alclad works much better over a 2 pack base coat or directly over plastic.

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne 2 года назад

Yes, Alclad can be more mirror. It depends on how good the prep work is.

Ive just tried the green stuff world chrome and it looks good but rubs off really easily, not sure what im doing wrong but i see you were able to rub it with your thumb no problem. it just comes off like a dry powder leaving a dull silver colour

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Месяц назад

These chromes will rub off with handling and become a dull silver. I have had some success top coating with a water based clear such as Deluxe Materials Looks Like Glass but the lustre will drop a little.

I'm testing the brush version of Green Stuff World chrome VIA airbrush, someone on youtube got a great chrome result on a car kit, i did a test but i think i did something wrong, got tiny bubbles in the chrome for some reason. That person recommended 6-1 thinning ratio( i used 10-5), thinning with GSW acrylic thinner(i used IPA), 12 PSI( i used 19). These and prob other ones affected the result, chrome is the hardest paint to get right, i hope you can make an in depth video on airbrushing the brush version.

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne 2 года назад

For airbrushing I think the GSW Airbrush version works best, straight from the bottle at low psi. The brush version gives an amazing mirror look for brushing but is not as durable as it tarnishes when touched.

@TheIcemanModdeler 2 года назад

Hearns Hobbies The brush version get better after letting it cure a couple of days. The reason I’m interested in the brush version is because it doesn’t require a black base, we’re all searching for the perfect chrome u guess.

@reighn831 Год назад

Do you have any experience with green stuff world's black gloss primer? Does it have a mirror finish or not quite?

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Год назад

It has a good gloss. I generally use Tamiya acrylic X1 gloss black as I have been successful using it for years. Try a couple and see which you like the best for basing before chrome. Remember that the best finish depends on how smooth your original base material is.

@northlanderdude Год назад

what would the end result look like if you didn't do the gloss black coating first and just sprayed over white??

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Год назад

Over white the chrome looks more like polished aluminium. It loses the high contrast in the reflections.

@northlanderdude Год назад

@@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Thanks for the tip BJ.

🤔 ive seen Green Stuff airbrush chrome on several channels and it looks much more mirror like than your tests. Not understanding.

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne Год назад

The mirror finish is very good with the Green Stuff airbrush Chrome. My overhead camera has a very narrow depth of field that gives the impression that my finish is not as reflective as it really is.

@chicagogreekguy 2 года назад

How durable is this for exterior auto use?

@HearnsHobbiesMelbourne 2 года назад

As we don't use this finish for exterior use I couldn't say. Please try some and let us know.

These are 'silver' not true chrome. The answer is Revell Chrom (Chrome) Spray. Effortless, perfect, true mirror finish. You can literally read text reflected in it or tell how many fingers you hold up in front of any painted subject. Doesn't matter if you prime or not. Gloss primer, matte primer, bare plastic: works like freaky magic. Not inexpensive by any means but if you want a flawless, true mirror finish without an airbrush, sanding/polishing, without primer, etc. this will be your new miracle paint.
