Ultimate Mirror Chrome Airbrush Paint 2oz

I used this the other day and was very pleased with the paint. I used it straight out of the bottle and at about 8 psi. I used a Gaahleri X Studio G airbrush with a .02 needle and it worked well. I've been using a different chrome finish and it was good. The Spaz Stix Mirror Chrome was hands down much better than the other stuff, quantity wise it is cheaper than the other stuff.I believe this will be my go-to chrome finish paint from now on.Not the greatest photo but I am very pleased with the flow of the paint and the look of the dried paint. This is how it looks straight out of the bottle. It dried quickly to the touch because I wasn't applying much paint on the parts. This is with three coats, two mist coats of paint, and one slightly heavier coat of paint.

UPDATE : No Idea how i didnt figure this out sooner but I was looking for a plated silver look originally when getting this. Really wanted that mirror shine and I kinda forgot to tell anyone how you get it when using this . Otherwise you ll end up with a metallic look that kinda reflects. This is by far the best paint for this.step 1. Use a dark primer preferably black. if you use primer. spray on light but last coat spray it till you see it become liquid y and shiny and quickly move to a new section. hanging out on spraying as it gets shiny too long and it will pool paint and ruin it.step 2. Use a high gloss lacquer black as your backer. If your primer is somewhat glossy or semi gloss looking this will almost look like a mirror finish. do a light coat to adhere then follow up with coverage coat ( medium ) then heavy coat looking for that glossy look in the paint. Soon as you see your reflection move to a different spot.step 3. You are almost done. After everything is dry VERY lightly spray your chrome paint on and if your surface was high gloss black it will instantly start looking like chrome mirror on the first pass. You can do additional coats but also go very lightly as it will start to remove a the black reflection with every pass. If done right your mirror chrome should reflect everything like it was real silver plating.OLD Review :Ok I have been looking for alternative paints for a while and a big deal has been the mirror finish i want. I saw this on amazon and was glad to find it was fairly cheep and decided to try it out.well i reviewed one of the color change paints and was fairly impressed with that and did the same test. I did 2 coats of the of the chrome mirror and it instantly was better than some of my more expensive my mr hobby paints.I good example would be a drop got on my hand and it instantly looked like i had dropped solder on my hand and was instantly reflective and this is on my skin!!!no black paint and this looks great already which will be better when I do it up propper.If you get a grey look out of this then you probably mixed it with the wrong paint. You need to make sure you are using the write top coat before covering a finished work. Some top coats or clear coats will dull the finish.buy it!!

I'm a hobbyist, but I'm also a professional automotive and aircraft painter; I've used other sprayable chrome products on cars and motorcycles before, so I had a little bit of background knowledge on how to best use chrome paint before I bought this stuff. I bought this stuff for use on miniatures and I intended to spray it through my airbrush. This product worked fine for that purpose but I think I'd choose something else if I intended to use it on a larger job or on anything that was going to be used outdoors, exposed to weather, etc. If you are using this product, start off with a good gloss black base. I applied Stynylrez white acrylic primer, then used Createx gloss black as my base on my product. After allowing 15 minutes to dry, I applied the Spazstix using my airbrush. I put it on in several very light coats and let it build up until I got the level of shine I wanted. After about an hour of dry time, I applied clear. I tried using Vallejo gloss acrylic varnish, but it seemed to actually dull my parts out, so, after allowing 15 minutes for the clear to dry, I recoated with a few more light coats of Spazstix and got my parts back to a chrome like finish. I decided to take my finished parts into work with me and coated them with a Dupont automotive clear which seemed to work much better and gave me the desired finish. Probably could have used a good aerosol gloss clear as well, but I have access to automotive products, so that's what I used. If you are going to use this stuff, follow the instructions. Apply it over a gloss black base, apply it in thin, light coats, at about 20 lbs of air pressure and allow sufficient dry time before top coating. Also, the paint tends to settle in the bottle fairly quickly, these types of products all do that, so shake it well and shake it often. Can't stress that part enough. Shake it. A lot! Also, it clogged my airbrush pretty bad, pretty quickly. I used a combination of Medea airbrush cleaner and isopropyl alcohol to clear my brush, seemed to work pretty well. Lastly, as I mentioned above, I don't think I'd recommend this for painting your car, motorcycle, helmet etc... In my opinion, this is a good hobby product, but there are better products available for automotive use. Alsacorp makes some of the better sprayable chrome paints for automotive applications, but there are several other companies with products designed for your car or bike.
