Liquid chrome

[Darrell1967]

Anybody used the liquid chrome pens, I used one and it looks great, just wondering about the durability.

You mean the malotow chrome paint pens? They are AWESOME!

Things you need to know:
Lacquer based so drying time is double.
DO NOT clear coat over it. Will fog and ruin.
Surface prep.
Not sure how it will do on lexan but I put it all over my 3d printed PLA grill, bumper, and door mirrors on my 79 ford and it flexes a tad with no cracking.
Its not very impact resistant and scratches fairly easy, but touch up is a BREEZE.

stand by for pics... Gotta go grab them from my build thread...

Looks really cool, not gonna use this body for anything but show, thanks for the advice, was gonna clear coat over but glad I waited, my truck is a proline 1966 Ford F100 truck in black on a Redcat Everest 10.

Some people report having luck clear coating with some alclad mixture of some sort. It was on the replica prop forums "the rpf".
Sounded complicated and iirc still caused a little clouding.
I will see if I can find the thread...
