- In this brief tutorial I show you how to apply a chrome finish to clear lenses and visors for your cosplay needs.
These visors are found here: goldenarmor.com/helmet-clear-v...
Wow, I can't wait to try this out. I've used the spaz stix airbrush paint before but never tried the spray can.
Really appreciate you sharing these tricks of the trade with us. Awesome to see your various processes.
My pleasure
Great. Thanks. I will surely do it for my android project.
that’s really good chrome effect
how’s the vision at night? through these materials?
so is there a way to do this but instead of chrome its flat white or another solid color?
Thankyou so much for sharing this!!
Great info man!!!
Can this work with other colors like black
How do I get this paint if I'm outside of the US? I'm from Argentina
Could you try revells chome?
Tried this with looking glass, and it just shot out like a hose, vs lightly like it looks in this video. it seemed to spray in speckles vs a nice clean spray... I was so bummed. can't see anything through the visor now. maybe the nozzle on it is broke or something... I don't know... going to try again... need to find something cheap to test with first.
Great! I have a motorcycle helmet but it looks stupid being able to see your face through it. Or maybe I hate the sight of my own face. Lol.
So I make Halloween characters for a haunt I work at is it possible to use something like this as a base for foam/clay?
sure, the visors are really stiff, I use 1/8th thick plastic
Does this product already come with a sealent in the spray, cause i would worry about breath fog, humidity, sweat, and touch rubbing the paint away.
sure you could seal it. Buy a clear spray at dome depot. (not included)
I’m trying to make a Mandalorian Visor. But I want clear Vision from the inside of the helmet and have it dark and black on the outside. Can this be achieved with this method?
Automotive tint helps
Great video!!! There are a few different types of spray by the same brand out there, what was the spray you used?
I got the best result form spaztix
what plastic is the visor itself? i need a white visor and i think this would be perfect
Petg plastic
does this work on a colored visor that was dyed post-vaccuform?
Worked for me. :) czcams.com/video/B22pOmOu8SI/video.html
Do you have a link to these visors? They seem fairly solid and not as flimsy as some I’ve found.
Yes ,sir. They are very THICK! It's here: goldenarmor.com/helmet-clear-visor-blank
This may seem like a silly question, but if I put LEDs right in front of a chrome visor made with this technique, would the light reflect off it or would it create some transparent spots?
if the light was on the OUTSIDE it would act like a mirror. It would reflect the bright point. If the light is on the INSIDE, it would look semitransparent.
@@chaucer44 THANK YOU! That really helps for my project!
Would this still work on a black or white surface since u mentioned it is for glass and see through surfaces?
I'm not really sure, I've only tried this technique on clear parts.
@@chaucer44 thanks for your feedback!
is it possible to do something like this with different colors? I am interested in trying something like this for one of my own projects. is it possible to do colors like Red or Blue?
Absolutely. Any color of the rainbow you want. These can be colored with the new series of krylon transparent spray paints.
Cool! What about blackout visors
you would use a different technique for a black visor. Use the fabric dye technique (idye) There's many vids on this on youtube)
What kind of polish did you use on the interior?
None
does this also works on glasses lens too?
Can't see why not
Is there a way of producing the see through effect with a solid non-reflective color?
You can do this in black and other colors with dyes but it doesn't appear as opaque.
@@chaucer44 What happens when you dye a mirrored finished visor?
@@ManicQuinn you should probably dye it first then mirror it.
@@ManicQuinn I tried dying it before chroming, you can check it in the attached vid. The effect is pretty cool, but I'm still looking for a better option to metalize it. Spray paint just doesn't have the uniformity I'd like. czcams.com/video/B22pOmOu8SI/video.html
Does it work with other colors rather than just silver? I'm trying to work on red hood style cosplay so I basically need red one.
Sure. You could spray the inside surface with a clear tint. Krylon makes some great ones. And then spray your silver as I show. I can't see why that wouldn't work.
@@chaucer44gonna ask the same thank you
Does this work with almost any silver spray paint? I can’t find a similar brand of Mirror Effect Chrome sprays in Korea and it’s really difficult. The only result that popped up on Coupang is this brand called “Molotow Urban Fine Art Special Series Effect Chrome”. Will that work if used exactly like in the video? If not, please reply with a good alternative that is accessible maybe in Korea or online stores? 😊
I believe mololtow would work.
@@chaucer44 Thank you so much! It was like a quest looking for it! Thank you again!!
Is there any reason why the spray goes on the inside?
Planning to do this but I would assume you spray the outside of the mask so that there's no risk of breathing in any paint residue over time.
The chrome effect is INTENSIFIED when viewed from the opposite side of the clear material. It's not nearly as 'chrome' when painted on the outside.
@@chaucer44 ahh ok, that's why! Brilliant, thanks for your response. I may be buying from you in the future :)
does it still work without a protective sheet
yep
Hi where can I buy the white mask?
