TUTORIAL: Applying Chrome Paint

[noturkidstoys]

No. The undusted portion is just that, undusted. Both side are the same thing.... when you follow this step by step your final outcome will look like the undusted section. Then you take a soft cloth and wipe it down to get the polished look.

I did mine and I never saw a dusted surface, turned out pretty darn shinny. Did I do something wrong? I figure couldn't have gone too wrong since I got the nice chrome shinny finish. I wonder if it could have been even more shinny if I had somehow got the dusted surface build up.

what is the beat kind of clear coat for this?

[stevescustoms]

I'musing Alclad II clear coat but it's formy airbrush.

and does that dull the shine down at all?

[stevescustoms]

No it doesn't.

Yep, you sprayed it to "wet". Basically you sprayed at to high a psi or were to close to the object. If it does not look like a mirror then it is not shiney enough.

Hmm, I had my psi at 30 maybe I'll drop it down to 20-25. What's the best way to strip the surface down and re-paint, wet sand?
