I've spent months working with this stuff so that I could share some thoughts about it.
This is easily the best chrome paint I've ever used and I'm excited that I now have this in my arsenal. This video is just me talking about the various things I discovered about working with it.

The ONLY clearcoat that I have found, that dosn't kill the Molotow gloss, is "SPAZ STIX Ultimate Clear Coat airbrush FOR MIRROR CHROME". It is primarilly used for Lexan RC car body's. This product will protect the chrome shine without eating it. I have tried just about every other clearcoat including Future. ALL eat the finish!

Thanks!

It must be airbrushed? Can i use aerosol paint version?

@richardstiers9010 Год назад

Another clear coat is by E7-color. Their Special S(or5) -02 Chrome sealer. It seems to be an inert clear varnish. Without any solvents. I think Alclad make something similar. What I have found is 1. Any clearcoat with any type of solvent, will ruin a chrome gloss. 2. Even non-solvent clearcoats can affect Chromes also. Not every Chrome responds the same. No one, single clearcoat, will work successfully with every Chrome. One needs to experiment and see which one works best with your specific Chrome.

I know this is old but Alclad Aqua Gloss is designed specifically for metallic finishes. Works fantastically.

このツリーで記載されたトップコート全て試しました。どれも反射は維持できますが輝きは素の状態に比べると若干落ちてしまいます。私は以前からタミヤのx-22クリアと同じくタミヤのx-20エナメル溶剤を1:3の割合で希釈してエアブラシで吹きかけています。これなら輝きもそのままでトップコートが可能です。

I've used this stuff before and quite like the results. That bust looks amazing, great work on that!

Good to see another video from you Mr. Jay. Your content is always good quality and informative

@cmamodelsbymarshallbuck7811 4 года назад

Excellent markers and chrome finish easily achieved with these. Great for creating "chrome" finish on small model parts as well as touch up of chrome parts on kits & built models. Best for use on parts that will not be handled once they are in place so as not to damage or dull the finish. I don't apply any clear coating to them since I want & need the brightest chrome-like finish when I use these. Also a very good alternative to sending small parts out for plating. I use these on a regular basis with my model making business.

@zakhoskins6404 5 лет назад

Thanks for using this on such a large figure! I've seen others review this on 28 mm minis, but it was too small for me to tell if a good result could be achieved with a non-lacquer. I think the key to getting a good shine is probably the surface prep. I know even the guys who use the lacquers will usually sand with grits larger than 2k (sometimes as high as 60k if you can believe that). Nice to know nice results can be achieved on something of this scale. Much appreciated.

@JayAdan 5 лет назад

You can certainly improve the quality of the surface with that kind of prep, but it's not really necessary. The bust had just the original coat of primer that was on the model. Not matte, but not glossy either. The results were still fantastic.

@mightyjjk1298 2 года назад

Great video. Covered the topic well. I bought the refill size and it has a cap and little funnel. Stuff is amazing but I needed to know what clear coat to use. Thanks for the advice and demo. 👏🏻

@bigjuly2780 5 лет назад

Ah, sweet! Saw the pic from Bubster yesterday. Was hoping you'd do a vid on this product.

@MisterBobot Год назад

I got great results using the Molotow Chrome and Alclad II Lacquers Gloss Klear Kote together on my C3PO & Death Star Droid Restoration. I found that you have to spray the topcoat somewhat close and wet - let it pool - to work.

@steved4677 4 года назад

well I'm convinced. that figure looks amazing. I am going to order some of these markers

@williamstone1536 3 года назад

Awesome! (awesome sculpt btw too!) Just wanted to ask; where did you buy the Alclad Lacquer High Gloss? Can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks for the vid though, this was really helpful!

@JayAdan 3 года назад

I don't recall but if I were forced to guess it would either be Amazon or Hobbytown USA.

@alexanderk.7782 4 года назад

how you clean the airbrush after using the chrome, normal like always Airbrush cleaner?

@lehcie9 4 года назад

Would this not be good to use on a semi truck trailer. I don’t have a airbrush so it would have to be paint brush.

@herrlogan17 2 года назад

It worked as a mirror chrome perfectly fine when I bought it. But after a year it gets dull when using the pen, like old silver. Any experience like this?

@pog11 4 года назад

Great video would have over looked the laquer had I not been informed by you. Which alclad laquer is it exactly? There are loads to choose from for different applications. Thanks

@JayAdan 4 года назад

When I was shopping I recall there only being two options for high gloss. The regular and the water-based. Both work fine. The lacquer based one was slightly shinier.

@milenafighter8120 5 лет назад

have you tried coating it with clear epoxy resin? like for example Artresin brand one, its used for protecting paint on sulptures and canvas, it just look like glass. I would love to know if it would work with mlotow liquid chrome. Thanks for the video!

@JayAdan 5 лет назад

I have not tried that. Most of the stuff that I paint has very fine details that would end up getting filled in by something as heavy as epoxy resin. I can see how it might work for other purposes though.

@williamstone1536 3 года назад

Hi, thanks for the really informative vid! Can Alclad II be painted on with a brush for small areas? Thanks!

@JayAdan 3 года назад

I haven't actually tried that. My guess is that you can apply it with a brush but the results might be disappointing.

@LifewithBrock 4 года назад

Hi Jay. After you sprayed metal head with the chrome, how long did you wait to coat it with alclad? I’ve used it on 1:12 scale action figures and I haven’t been able to get the paint to cure.

@JayAdan 4 года назад

It might be reacting with the plastic in the action figures. You may need to prime them with something that is okay with both the plastic and the paint. To answer your question though.. you can do it after just hours. Maybe a day to be safe.

@LifewithBrock 4 года назад

Jay Adan that’s what I thought. Next time I’ll try a Vallejo primer unless you know that it will react poorly with the alcohol based acrylic....

@gaboaaa23 5 лет назад

Hello Jay, i have an T-800 Endoskeleton and would love to paint it with this molotov chrome markers. Do you think i could make the surface look even? I mean without seeing the lines ive paint with the marker. Thanks!

@JayAdan 5 лет назад

I don't think I'd use the markers. I would spray it. But I think the results with the thickest markers might not be too bad.

@gabiballetje 3 года назад

With airbrush over it it looks rather good. I was looking for a review to use it on paper, but i might use this on some tips or edges on some Warhammer 40K swords maybe. If you coat it, as you should always do, it might stay just fine.

@carletonlegrant5605 4 года назад

Let me ask you this did you ever test this chrome on a piece that is gloss black first similar to Alclad

@JayAdan 4 года назад

Yes. It can help but it's not really necessary.

@the_catshark 2 года назад

So did you use the Alclad Aqua Gloss or Alclad Clear Gloss on this to protect the chrome? You listed both in your description and in the video you refer to it as "high gloss"?

@JayAdan 2 года назад

I tried them both as I mentioned in the video (or I'm pretty sure I did). They are very similar in result but I prefer the Clear Gloss - but I would be fine using the Aqua Gloss.

@the_catshark 2 года назад

TY! I may have missed that part. Thank you for the response either way!

@jackgoff4668 3 года назад

Después de aplicar la pintura cromada molotov, se debe poner una capa de laca transpatente?

@JayAdan 2 года назад

@SenseiJae 3 года назад

was the better result from the Alclad Klear or Aqua?

@JayAdan 3 года назад

Klear, but I would also be fine with the Aqua. The differences are almost too minor to matter.

@octanekustomguitarworks510 4 года назад

can it be reduced and then airbrushed?

@tupacamaru9627 3 года назад

Yes. It can be reduced with lacquer thinner. I use the Tamiya yellow cap.

@anthonyvera8524 2 месяца назад

Did you have to thin it at all when airbrushing it?

@JayAdan 2 месяца назад

No. It'll spray just fine as is and thinning it can ruin the effect.

@davedogge2280 5 лет назад

This is excellent up close to the eye for metals like used in swords. I have some of their acrylic paints as they have a shop in Madrid Spain and bought a load, they're thin (to be used in pens) so you don't really need to thin them down. Some nice pinks and electric blues in their range good for painting Tzeetch and Slaanesh for Warhammer ! Vince Ventruella sings the praises of Moltow Liquid Chrome also btw.

@JayAdan 5 лет назад

Thanks for that, Dave. I think I'll need to check out the rest of the line and see what else I can make use of.

@tjmb 5 лет назад

The Molotow Liquid Chrome has a thin built-in clearcoat that develops once it’s fully cured. It takes several weeks, up to two months to fully cure, then it may take an additional clearcoat without ruining the chrome effect. I have the pens but haven’t yet tested adding a clearcoat after allowing it to fully cure.

@DiscoDeoxys 3 года назад

That’s so friggin long holy hell

@Declopse 3 года назад

After 7 days it dulls down when the clear coat is sprayed on.

@RType2966 3 года назад

Would alclad 2 klear kote flat work ??

@JayAdan 3 года назад

Flat coats destroy the look of the metallic paint.

@bubarules 4 года назад

Hi Jay, have you tried any other brand with similar results? In Australia these lacquers are super expensive!

@JayAdan 4 года назад

You can get similar results with Alclad II chrome paint. It requires more work to get those results but maybe you can get it for less.
