#chrome #Gundam #airbrush - Jak na to + styl
I’d be very curious to see tinting with transparent acrylics over that chrome lacquer. I usually dona 1:1 of transparent yellow and orange to make gold.
Always find your content enlightening, BRex! Thanks for informing us.
I will be trying this one for sure! Great tip with amazing results!!
Insane results!
Will give it a shot! Looks pretty good! Thank you
Well well, don't ever stop doing these videos. Thanks so much. Can't say enough from what I have learned from you
Great demo! My mind is already buzzing with ideas of trying this mega-thinning with other metallics and even colour shifts. Thanks!
This IS so crazy my dude!! Thanks a lot for sharing!!!
Would love to see if all the other super metallics (copper, gold, etc) can give that mirror/chrome effect like this one too.
The same reddit user that discovered this said that it only works for the super chrome silver 2
I tried two others in the line and it didn't work
You can kinda make it into colored chrome with clear color & polishing it after
Try watching JENIC on youtube
Could you fake gold/copper look with using orange/yellow as a base instead of the black? Or does the color not matter because it's fully covered by the chrome paint?
@@barbatosrex9473 hi may i know if i can use vallejo primer and varnish or my hobby primer with this ? i quite new to airbursh so dont know if different brand can be use together. Thanks
Awesome looking chrome!
Great tip. This is a money saver. Thank you
Bravo! This is what I have been looking for 👌
Great tutorial! As someone just learning how to airbrush, finding tips like this are awesome! I also took your tip and got the Fortress Compressor from Harbor Freight. THANKS!!
Thanks for what you do! Already leaning a lot from your videos!
Thanks buddy
Wow... can't wait to try this!
That's crazy how thinning it out changes the effect that much. I might have to try that with small pieces on the dash of my car where the chrome trim has worn off.
Great video. I am going to try this technique.
I MUST TRY THIS CHROME PAINT!
Well done! Thanks for the video!
Thanx, i will give it a try. Currently using Molotow Chrome.
Love this. Thanks for great tip and video.
My first and only airbrush is a Procon. Glad I made the right decision on that purchase.
Another awesome video full of useful information and tips. Keep up the great work doing all of this testing and love the no nonsense approach. You just tell it like it is and that is what keeps me coming back to this channel for advice. If you end up testing some clear coats on this, please post the results, would be very interested. Being a lacquer I would expect it to behave much like the allclad chrome, but you never know until you try.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing.
Cool tip! Thanks!
Great tips, I’ve always had good results with the mr.hobby metallic line
Thanks for the tip! I'm building the Tamiya 1199 Ducati - this tip came at the right time!
Thanks for the trick
Great video. I seem to remember cleaning an airbrush after a metalic session and seeing the same effect. Never occurred to me to thin it down loads and aplly it. Great tip
Awesome tip. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much, i will definitely give that a try for my rc cars.
It would be great to see if you can get that same finish on a primed and base coated gloss black car bumper. I think the super shiny spoon is helping out here. Insightful video nonetheless 👍
You mean the super-shiny black spoon with so little silver paint on it that it still looks black and shiny?
@@johncoops6897 LoL 🤣🤣🤣
Another GREAT vid!!!!👍👍
Yes, I've heard this works well for the model car guys and have been looking forward to trying it.🙂
dude! thanks so much. bought this paint, thinned it 15/1 and perfect chrome every time.. tested it on a koi carp mermaid I sculpted. time to test its durability with masking fluid and transparent orange.
Another great tip, thank you.
That's awesome
Excellent video and excellent tip!
Always love your share man. TQ John, TQ Rex👍😍
I build cars primarily. Ill be trying this.
Thanks Rex and Pliskin
holy mother of god that is amazing! :O thanks for sharing! and thanks John!
This is awesome!! Alclad is too delicate for a good candy finish, imo... I wonder if this would keep the chrome shine under a clear color 0.0
this is genius....alclad is very hard to find in my country thank you so much!!!
Thank you for the demo. Very impressive.
You're welcome buddy
I also meant to thank you for the Pace spray booth review. Based on your review and comparison with other products I bought the Pace mini. It just arrived and I’m very happy with it.
@@timothydaniels504 that's a great product. Hand made one at a time by Mr Pace himself
I was using the Sparmax MAX-3 for quite a while, was my first double action gravity fed AB and upgrade from the standard AB you get with a compressor kit. I still use it every now again but once I bought a Procon Boy 0.3mm Plat Ver. 2 and the Procon Boy Single Action 0.4mm they are my go to for everything. The single action is awesome!
I have the single action too. Everything by GSI has been awesome
I accidently did something similar when i was pre-mising my gold paint, i thought i ruined it, but after testing, the gold was still good and somewhat more shiny compared to before!
Nice results
Amazing and yet speechless
Great tip thanks
Man, I loved my neo. it never messed up on me once. After 3 years, it still sprays beautifully. Of course I have way better one by now but that neo will always have a spot at the bench.
Videos like this are why you'll hit 100,000 subscribers. I'm on reddit but obviously not enough, this is a great tip. Thanks!
Thanks for the shout out my man! Great video!
Thanks for the tip dude. It turned out very nicely.
@@CrimsonFlagg Glad to share something to this community.
Hey there my friend, I said I'd give you credit. You deserve it
Great video!
Too 😎, thanks for sharing!
I remember watching a promotional video where they were demonstrating a automotive spray on chrome and what comes out of the spray gun is less than 1% their chrome pigment and the rest is deionized water
So the 14 to 1 thinner to paint actually makes sense
That sort of ratio makes sense, when you consider how metallic paints function. Reducing the concentration keeps the flake (usually, but not always, mica...) from interfering with itself, and settling at angles not parallel or tangent to the surface that you're painting. It also makes the medium/binder less of a factor in getting the flake to lay down.
You're never going to get it perfectly mirror reflective, but you can get impressively close with a combination of thin layers and wet sanding, basically just knocking back the high spots naturally created by the mica flake, and getting as close as possible to a glass-smooth surface through a process like this.
@@andrewamann2821 yup
Hey Rex, Chris here........excellent tip.......I'm doing this on my next kit.....no question........who knew????? All these different chrome paints & this hack out of nowhere looks very convincing....no question!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome 👏
Love your videos 👍👍👍
Thanks 🙏🏻
nice show great chrome keep them coming
Thanks for the heads up on this stuff. Was in the need of a new airbrush as well. Polishing the needles and seats of a gmaster only gets you so far.
Grab this airbrush now while it's under $90
@@barbatosrex9473 Just took care of that, thanks for the extra nudge!
Thanks for shareing!
You're welcome Oscar
Thanks
You will really like the zurc chrome its amazing.
I can't wait to test it
Gonna try this with rusyoleum mirror paint
Similar to painting NMM, surfaces appear more reflective when there are more shadows. The highest value (ie. brightness) is the same on all spoons from the light source, but thinning appears to preserve the shadow value (the black underneath) thereby increasing contrast and "shiny-ness".
working on a 3d printed batmobile. will use this on the wheels. to cool!!!
Gonna try it, also gonna try with rapid thinner whitch is recommanded for metallic colors
Interesting as always. The top 10 chromes for finishes and they’re reaction to varnish / durability would be so useful. I’m planning on down chrome painting for a new 40k army and I’m concerned about the durability of the chrome options you’ve explored
Stretching the soup!
Great tip and vid.
I just went to my local hobby store and it turns out someone ordered the rest of their SM206 overnight. They had no idea why….I think I have a feeling why though! Loved the video. When I finally get my hands on some I’ll be giving this technique a shot!
Awesome!
It is awesome 😀
The effect seems to be the same as when you shoot fades. By adding so much thinner, you're reducing the amount of paint in each pass of the airbrush. Since the metallics want you to shoot very light coats, the thinned paint is essentially spraying even less than you normally would. Thanks for the tip!
I love my Procon Boy PS290 trigger style dual action airbrush! A neurological condition makes using a standard double action airbrush tricky at times for me. That is quite an impressive chrome effect you have done using the super metallic 2 heavily thinned :-)
I’m starting to get hand tremors. Your trigger-spray tip is much appreciated. Good luck to us both!
ewww, i did the trick and its really work, damn in, it save a ton of money to make candy chrome , thank's a lot dude
I am so happy I bought this paint on whim hoping it would polish up to a mirror shine. Up until this video I had thrown it in a corner, as it came out looking nothing like chrome. Now im about to try this trick out and see if mr color super metallic 2 can redeem himself.
Nice, one paint a few shades, vary with thinner & type primmer. My opinion nice jet engine & fuselage shades. Long lasting supply.
Great tip!!!!!!
Thanks buddy 👍
I have that GSI Creos Procon Boy! It’s my #1 Go-to airbrush! Easy to clean and low maintenance! Atomizes paint amazingly!
It's one of the best for sure
Awesome tip, and thank you for doing the PSI overlay so much better and also helps the hearing impaired community with the visual …..
I remembered this time
@@barbatosrex9473 thank you, only suggestion I have on it is you have so much dead space in the top corners of your spray booth view, that you could use a semi-perm square of info there rather than across the middle.
Airbrush: xyz
Needle: 0.3mm
PSI: 18-20
Something simple but repeatable especially if you do multi paint ones or multi airbrush/needles
@@richardparnell1865That's a great idea. Then I could screen cap the info and print them out for reference later. 👍🏻
Holy crap, this is great! I wonder if this trick also works with other paints
Awesome tip! I like it out of the jar and it's a bonus that it makes a nice chrome. It does look like polished steel, which is a little darker than chrome. It would be interesting to do a chrome paint job, using this and a black chrome to shade Alclad chrome.
ie darrell waltrips #17 western auto nascar
Cool tip. I generally like the super metallics. Trying to get alclads in my country is tough. And generally trying to find a proper chrome paint is tough. I even tried using chrome paints in cans for cars. They work, but just like the super metallics demo'ed here, if you put too many layers it starts to become cloudy and dull. Looks fine, but not chrome. it would be cool if you could do a short follow up video, just to compare "actual" chrom paint with this technique. Just to see the difference. I think this trick would work really well in most situations.
thanks again great tip i will look for mr hobby in canda
Interested to see if chrome spray paint can be decanted and applied in these thin layers, perhaps for nicer results using the thin airbrush layers
You can do this technique with Vallejo metal color chrome . The ratio is even higher, more thinner to paint. Lots of passes and drying time between coats. I remember you weren't impressed with the chrome from metal color but using this technique I can see some reflection in it. It's obviously no alclad. Try it out.
Awesome hack! Can you please test to see if a clear coat will change the results?
i came very close to discovering this myself, when i accidentally added thinner to Mr metallic, when i realized it i cleaned the airbrush and passed up the opportunity to discover this!!
Neat, wonder if this works with other paints.
cool tip
holy crap..I can't believe that chrome..thats just crazy..magic!!!! that was pretty clever I must say! can never have enough chrome lol:)
Good modeling community. I have seen a lot of videos of Chrome testing. I even seen that testirs is comming back out with a chrome paint. Have not used yet because it so hard to get. I think this video is very helpful will try once I am up running with air brush. But with all of that said I would like to share something I use and have a great results I think and that is dupli color perfect match universal chrome from the auto zone near me and it is very durable. But be careful it does come out fast so you dont need a lot. I also don't think it's to expensive it does do a long way. Well thanks everyone have a great day
Yes the body mounts are available separately. At Slot Car Corner
I got a jar of AlClad Chrome for for my B-17G (1/48 scale) build next summer when I can ventilate, now I'm wondering if I should go with this instead. Seems much more durable than AlClad. Thanks for the vid ... still waiting to see Olly!
omg houston we have landed what next thanks for sharing
I don't use laquer based paints but pro modellers have mentioned thinning Mr Color at 20% paint.
From what I can see the black gloss of the spoon is contributing to 50% of the result.
Well yeah the opaque gloss black is contributing most of the result because the chrome has been thinned out giving it opacity while the opaque gloss black helps reflectivity of the chrome. That’s how they make mirrors.
so we can use acrylic colors too? I am new to the modeling thing i want to know more before starting to paint the kits. i dont have mr.hobby stuff available to me. i do have generic acrylic paints and poring mediums available
I've watched a lot of your videos and thank you for sharing the methods in spraying. To me there really is only 1 Chrome paint on the market. SPECTRA CHROME. The parent company is based in Tampa Florida. it is sprayed over a black shiny base. You wash off the material with distilled water and leave to dry in 70 degree heat. You can then clear coat it which turns it a slight yellow tint. You just add a dash of blue to the lacquer and give it a good thick coat. It is a perfect chrome finish. I need to spray some bumpers on a 55 Cadillac and been considering other methods as we do not have a Spectra Chrome firm in Ireland. If anybody has any contacts for the Spectra Chrome liquids, I'd love to hear from you........MO
I'm a silver chrome guy, I've never liked warm gold colors. I just wish I could clear coat and keep that shine. One day I'll find a way!
be interesting to see a red candy lacquer over the top, the hot wheels customisers would normally need to polish the hell out of the casting but this may be an easy way.
I thin down the Molotow chrome paint with lacquer thinners and you should see the amazing results I get :)
I will try that. Maybe I'll do a video on it
Very interesting. I wonder if that would work with other "chrome" paints?
LOL. i jus sprayed my RG Hi Nu gundam with this chrome silver, I didn't know it was pre thinned so I thinned it out...aaand then this video drops. what a small world sometimes! but yea can confirm this works, also if you matte coat it, it will take off the chrome look.
Use gloss coat instead
Use it light & use it several time while also polishing it every layer
Awesome tip! I will try that tommorrowwwwwwwwww
thx
Great video Sir. Wonder if Tamiya levelling thinner would have the same results?
