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... *here ya go Freshly finished after tons of priming amd sanding Out on the trails during proline by the fire 2018 I'm not easy on her!

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... * here it is https://www.therpf.com/forums/thread...paints.272691/ Last edited by Shinchu; 01-20-2019 at 11:40 PM. |
