Creating Custom Colors With Maker Pro Paint Metallic White

This video will demonstrate how you can create custom metallic colors by adding So-Strong colorants to Maker Pro Metallic White. The process begins by applying Adhesion Promoter to ensure a strong bond to the urethane resin.
After allowing the Adhesion Promoter to dry for 30 minutes at room temperature, we proceed to mix So-Strong green, blue, and purple into the Maker Pro Metallic White. Do not add more than 3% by weight of the colorant to Maker Pro Paint's weight, as this can cause bonding and drying issues.
Each layer of paint is left to dry for 30 minutes at room temperature, and we can add additional layers as needed. To achieve maximum strength and scratch resistance, we let all the layers dry for a total of 48 hours. The end result is an impressive piece with a stunning metallic luster.

New Maker Pro Paint Metallics create stunning results on resin castings!

[@smoothon]

This was a casting from our mold library. Thanks for the kind words!

Can you use the Regular White with the So-Strong Pigments as well? or does this only work with the Metallic white and metallic so-strong pigments?

[@andy-in-indy]

Can you guys please demo the use of these paints on Flexible Urethane and foams? I am curious abut how much the Flex additive alters the color, hardness, and durability of the paint.

[@smoothon]

Great idea! We will let the video team know.

Looks interesting for sure.
Can you use the Adhesion Promoter also as a primer for normal acrylic paint or just the Maker Pro Paint?
Also, after fully dry can you use acrylic/water based oil paint for a weathering on top of Maker Pro Paints or are there any adheasion problems?

[@smoothon]

The Adhesion Promoter was designed specifically to work with the chemistry of the Maker Pro Paints. After dry, additional acrylic can be used for weathering, but any other paints would need to be tested.
