Default Best mirror chrome paint ever

Hello Rc crawlers and RC scalers,

I recently discovered this fantastic mirror chrome paint to improve your models with a polished metal finish. I highly recommended it as it is super easy to apply and the result surpassed all previous paint and spray I used so far.

That's a short video I made showing its application and result on a 3D printed oil drum:

Have you used Molotow Liquid Chrome? I'm curious how they compare to each other?

The problem I've had with all chrome paint products is durability and incompatibility with other chemicals/materials like cleaners, oils, grease...they look good when you put it on, but I've almost always had to go back and re-coat at some point.

Good point, no I haven't got hold of that one. I'm curious too now

Very true. Culture Hustle recommends to seal porous surfaces with PVA first. As for durability, I'd like to try some glossy clear lacquer, wondering if this paint keeps its great mirror effect.

I also enjoy natural weathering depending where the paint is applied

I used Spaz Stix Ultimate Mirror Chrome on the grill and bumper.
Backed with Black.

Interesting, did you manage to apply it on the outside and maintain its aspect? I thought this paint was made specifically for inside a body rather than outside.

It is painted on the inside.

Ok thanks for the info. I've never had a bumper or grill that could be painted on the inside. Your truck does look great.
