    Thank you for doing the review! Really happy you are loving our range!!
    To clarify with the clears over chrome, what is happening is that the solvents in the clears are reactivating and rearranging the pigment in the chrome. The chrome pigment is a certain shape that needs to lay completely flat on the surface to show the most reflective side to get that mirror look (this is also why a gloss base must be used (colour doesn't matter, black is always best but different colours give different tonal changes to the chrome)). Applying a solvent based clear over the top will reactivate the chrome and move the pigments around in such a way that the reflective side is no longer facing up, effectively killing the mirror effect. Using a water based clear as you've done in the video is the only way to top coat chromes but you will still lose shine due to that extra layer of paint.
    Looking forward to seeing your next videos on our paints! :)

    The issue with the Jet Black is more due to the application and the type of plastic underneath. As it is a high gloss, the paint itself is slightly hotter than the regular gloss sheen paints in our range. It needs to be applied in one or two light coats first, leave dry for a little and then do another couple of coats making sure the last one is a bit heavier. With Bandai plastics in particular, they can react if exposed to too much solvents (ie. if too much paint is applied too soon and too heavy). Some Japanese brand primers can also have this issue with the same paint, it's a chemical reaction due to the high gloss part of the paint. Try dropping the PSI down to 12, apply in lighter coats and closer to the piece, you should see a better result over primer.
    We've adjusted the formula earlier this year as well, so the risk of this happening on newer batches is a lot less than the bottle you have.

    You’ve saved me a bunch of money this year. I’m a color junkie and I have a habit of buying anything new that I see, just to check them out. But I usually buy 10 colors. You’ve done a couple brands that I planned to buy but didn’t need too after watching your video. Of course, on the other side, I’ve learned about a couple more that I will be buying to play with. I also have a crazy amount of automotive paint and pearls, water and solvent based, that I haven’t played with yet. I like chrome paints but I always seem to screw them up trying to color or candy, over it.
