      You did not let it cure sufficiently. I've used this several times on foam costume pieces (both flexible craft foam with a black primer base, and hard pink insulation foam right over top the Elmer's coat), it is definitely able to be handled after sufficient dry time. If you put a lot on, it will take longer. Likewise if it's below 70 where its curing.

    The high-end chrome paints use a primer and then a coat of gloss black first. Doing the same might make it glossier. Also if you're having issues with paint flaking virtually guaranteed your surface prep is to blame. Has to be absolutely clean and prepped so the paint can grab onto it.

    Pssst.... I sprayed this 10 years ago and all clear coats chemically eat the shine. It also needs 8 days in warmth to dry if rattle can spraying then micro cloth rub off the dust paint that dries on way to surface. It is best flooded on surface so vertical near impossible. The only thing with this or better airbrush chrome alcohol based paint is clear floor wax over it after curing days through an airbrush in light coats, acrylic wax is hard after drying and you can polish out mar marks.

    Next time instead of clear coat do 1 light coat followed by 80% coat 15 minutes later and then do final coat 100% at about 45 minutes. After dry for at least 2 days, 5-7 even better. Then wet sand 1000 grit and polish. Add wax of choice after 30 days.

Then bugger it up with the clear coat and say its alright or good enough for your project! Dude, its your project but be better than that! Get with the program and set yourself apart from the rest of the Auto/Cycle hacks! There are so many more options out there other than a can of spray paint!

    I found that so called chrome rustoleum paint dulls any where it is touched even when it has cured for days .... then if you do clear it .... it just dulls to a silver paint look .... better off just using a bright aluminium paint because the aluminium paint seems much more durable then that fake chrome paint ..... This is what I found when painting car parts with it and seems from watching your video the same kinda experience happened to you .... I found just using a rustoleum aluminium paint was better in the end result .... Like your car in the background it is sweet !!!

Then i tried the 72 hours and same thing with rustoleum, but the krylon doesnt do it, im not a fan of krylon anything either but their clears chemical structure seems to mix fairly well with the rustoleum enamels in my experiences.

    I have done a moderate amount of research on chrome paint. The really good looking actual mirror finish chrome paint systems are not cheap, costing from approximately $200 and up! For everything else, you can get some really nice finishes from paint like this. The best clear coat to use to not dull the finish seems to be an automotive type catalyzed 2 part urethane clear. It doesn't change the finished look and is going to be extremely durable. Your results may vary, so always do a test panel first to verify results. One more thing, spraying with Future (Pledge) floor polish seems to preserve the finish as well, but will not be as durable. 👍

      I used the chrome on an art piece. Followed direction to the T. Perfect humidity and temp. That garbage does not get hard. The next 12 hours later it was still soft. I thought maybe this was an isolated occurrences. I tried it again and the same result. I then took the empty spray paint to Walmart and did get a refund. I bought the aluminum metallic and the bright coat silver. Same F*ckin results, all of them. Oh, and they have a similar smell that is inherent to what ever the chemical is to make the paint silver. Man , I was pissed. This line is pure crap. Thing is , I never have a problem with other colors. The 2X double coverage is fantastic paint for a spray paint. It covers even and smooth. Delivers a brilliant finish and dries quick. I contacted Rustoleum about the issue and they told me they would bring it to the attention of their lab. People who formulate it. Guess they never changed it. Avoid the silvers at all cost. So glad I'm not alone here. Oh and on Amazon I got 1.3k likes. Others found out the hard way this Sh*t stays soft. Maybe eventually it does get hard but I haven't got the time or patience to find out. Krylon silver works better and I hate Krylon. Good vid dude, I'll watch more...Subbed.

Just hover the heat gun over the entire wet paint surface moving the gun constantly and not holding it in one spot. Then paint will be shiny, dry and hard.*

    I watched this video, decided to do my swingarm, looked great but never cured right. Its was not very durable at all for a swingarm so I sandblasted it off and went with regular silver. Maybe it would be ok with a automotive clear in a spray gun so its thick enough.

    Every single stage metallic spray paint will dull over time because the metallic powder in them gets dirty and contaminated with the binder. Once that happens you can't fix it. Clearing will dull the finish, but maybe not as dull as it would had you not cleared it. Catch 22.

  • @RedWhiteAndBlueVideo
    @RedWhiteAndBlueVideo 6 лет назад +5

    You should have used a Rust Oleum clear if they have one. Not good to mix manufactures. Also maybe try some heat to bake the paint. That might cure your durability problems. Clear coat basically just gives a base coat paint a glossy surface. There was no need to clear the metallic paint as rust Oleum themselves said not to clear coat it. It probably just needs a proper drying time or to be baked on.

    • @StupidFastJohn
      @StupidFastJohn  6 лет назад +1

      RedWhiteAndBlueVideo im not sure you watched the whole video but i did use rustoleum clear on the green frame and it made it flake and krinkle.
      However baking sounds like a feasible solution that may work i hadnt thought of that.
      One other thing on the back of the chrome can it says do not clear so finding a clear that works well with it is next to impossible. I have searched forums online and could not find anything that works well with rustoleum chrome.

      I had the crinkle issue not with the clear coat but using another colour. The advice I got was that I didn't let the paint completely dry. So now I wait a full week before adding. I don't know if that is the issue you had but just a thought.

      Norman Bates agreed, i used to be a big fan of rustoleum but trying to clearcoat it becomes a nightmare. Its always flaking and destroying the finish. And withiut the clear its not enough tough ess to avoid scratches etc so its like why wouldnt they design a specific clear for it?

    I had that "crinkle" bulls*** happen to me when I tried to paint my first car with Rustoleum. Basically, it's not necessarily the brand, as much as it is that the new paint is acting like paint stripper to the existing paint. Spray paint has a solvent-based carrier, and that's what happens when you apply solvent to wet paint... it removes it. I actually emailed Rustoleum, REALLY PISSED because this happened. I ended up blowing off the whole situation, however, I later realized what had happened. My paint job got splotchy because I painted in direct sunlight and therefor I couldn't keep it as wet as I needed to get an even top coat. Basically, it didn't have time to self-level before it flashed. Anyway, I decided to fix it by lightly sanding and then recoating... easy right?? Hell no. Thank god I only tested on my hood. Even though I waited the full 48 hours the can recommends, IT STILL SPIDERED! (This is what I sent the nasty-gram to Rustoleum about) Even after the 48 hours, the paint had not cured ALL THE WAY THRU. If I had not sanded it, it would have worked fine. But sanding it sort of "opened up a scab" and exposed non-cured paint. The moral of the story is this: You have to recoat (or clear coat) within the amount of time given on the can. If you miss the window, you are applying solvent to dry-to-the-touch but not-yet-fully-cured paint and you are risking "removing" the existing coat. So either get it done within the specified window, or wait for the full cure time before messing with it. And per my hard-learned lesson, don't necessarily trust the cure time on the can, especially if you intend to sand it at all before recoating. Knowing what I know now, if I was gonna sand and recoat spray paint, I'd wait a MINIMUM of a week before doing so. Or if possible, wait the cure time, sand it, and wait the cure time again and paint it. That way the freshly opened "wound" would have time to cure as well. After a LOT of practice, I can actually rattle-can an ENTIRE CAR with Rustoleum, and it looks fantastic. The car I'm driving right now has a Metallic Gold paint job and people SHIT when I tell them it's Walmart rattle cans...

      If you're doing a color change anyway, may I recommend Rustoleum Metallic Cobalt Blue... I have that on a fender on my "practice canvas" in my front yard. Put down that blue and a couple coats of gloss clear, followed by 800-mini-blocked with a light touch, then 1500, 3000, 5000, and then machine compund and polish and OMFG! it comes out the most brilliant metallic blue, almost a candy finish. Try it on something you got layin around! If you paint a car with that combo, it'd be mind blowing, AND as a bonus you get to watch people shit bricks when you tell them it's Walmart rattle cans!
