Airbrushing Molotow Chrome From A Marker - Great Results !!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 ноя 2020
- In this video I crack open a Molotow Chrome Marker and pour the contents into my airbrush and spray a few spoons. I didn't know what would happen as I did it live on film for the first time. I was shocked to see how good it came out.
And I want to report to you that these spoons look even better a few hours after this video was made. It looks much smoother. I will film an update as too it's durability in a week or two. Stay tuned

It's alcohol-based paint - and the way it works to get its sheen and mirror-smoothness is through a surface-tension trick that aligns the particles in it while the alcohol evaporates and the binder sets. That's why it likes to be on heavy, preferably in one juicy layer. ✌😁
They sell refill bottles of this stuff which is more expensive, but you get a lot more paint in the bottle. It's also a squeeze bottle so you can measure it out as you need it
This ^^
I thin it with 99% iso and it sprays ok. The brush/pen is just a thicker formula,
Mr Hobby Leveling Thinner does wonders for hand brushing Molotow. I’ve been using it for about a year now and it works great. If you use the pen and get all of those streaks and strokes lightly dab a little Mr Hobby leveling thinner onto the Molotow and it will take away all of those marks and strokes. I’ve even used it to correct a fingerprint when the paint was still wet and it causes the Molotow to fizz like soda and then it self levels back out. I’ve also learned that you have to let the Molotow to dry for a few days before it’s cured.
I let it sit for two weeks while on vacation and found it very durable. I experimented with different clear glosses but they just dulled the finish a bit.
True, mine has dried nicely over the weeks. Next time I'll try and dry them in my dehydrator and see how that works. Try Vallejo Metal Varnish, that stuff is awesome. It might keep the shine. Check my video test on it
Will it dry quicker if you apply heat on it?
this stuff is designed to be brush painted, used as the marker, used in a dropper, and yes in a air brush. you can order the the refill bottles to avoid the whole dismantling a marker. its alcohol based paint, so dilute with that its also scratch and uv resistant so its pretty darn durable.
I've only used Green Stuff World Chrome which is also alcohol based. Is Molotow the same as that?
The GSW chrome dries pretty hard, but if you handle it a lot - rub it hard with you finger for example - it will dull.
I don't think there would be a problem with incidental touching though?
Are you familiar with GSW Chrome? I've got both chromes sitting in my cupboard, and I'm going to spray 2 Masquerade masks with one of them, but I want the best overall look. I think Molotow looks a little more chrome like? But is it durable as GSW Chrome?
Anybody out there got an opinion on this??
I got one of their little pens to experiment with. It is good enough to use to touch up model chrome.
Awesome informative video..... I'm going to spray some dash parts for a old Galaxie I am restoring, and was just researching painting with Molotow, using my air brush. Looks like a good product.
I have experimented with thinning Molotow with laquer thinner. It seems to make little diferance in the shine and at a 50/50 mix it goes twice as far
Worse or better?
@@MANOLEJAS I got the same results. The lighter the coats the better the results. You don't need to do anymore than a few light passes for the desired chrome effect.
Do you think that i could just use iso alcohol to thin it. I mean, its already an alcohol based paint anyway.
@@marcusprince3999 Why thin it at all? It's already thin. I actually sprayed it on fairly wet to get a liquid chrome effect.
As it dries it initially goes cloudy - and looks like bright silver paint. I put my object on my car dashboard in the sun, and it took over a week to fully dry, but when it did - WOW!! Chrome. It looks amazing!! I've yet to find a clear coat though, and I've tried Alclad Aqua, Alclad Lacquer, and E7 Chrome Sealer. All took the shine off the chrome. I'm going to dry my object further, and then just handle it carefully. With incidental handling it is OK!!
@@mikthe2004 I have 'Pledge Revive It Floor gloss' it's back to the original formula as "Klear" and worked really well on the 24th scale Subaru I just made.
I think this might work well as a clearcoat.
Congrats on 1k subs! You've helped me a ton from all the tests you've been doing.
Thanks. A lot more tests to come. Anything in particular you want to see tested?
@@barbatosrex9473 candy coat these molotow's maybe? And compare with other candy coats with a different chrome base.
@@dstar01 it's in the works.
Wait are you telling me this guy got 36k subs in one year? How the actual fuck, that kind of growth is ridiculous.
I just air brushed the lightbar from MPC Dodge police car with Molotow chrome. It come out great. I'm fixing it up with lights , and detailing it. And the lightbar had a seem. I striped it with Dettol (disinfectant/cleaner) then sprayed it over the plastic. Great job. Thanks for the video.
,John
My friend… you are a hero!! I was thinking about testing these on the airbrush, but I was kinga getting away of that idea because of the price on these, thanks man!
After doing extensive research, what I've found is that you need to let this paint dry for days. Maybe even a week. The only coat that seems to not negatively impact the chrome too much is Alclad II Klear Kote Gloss (ALC-310).
It's important to not touch the paint AT ALL while it dries for those few days.
I have also seen examples where they let the chrome paint dry for like 30 days (without a clear coat) and at that point it seems to resist smudges and fingerprints.
30 day is a long time. But if it's a piece you're painting and just displaying, it can dry on it's own anyway.
Try both methods, and see if that works. It really has the best chrome effect I've seen from any other brands.
Good luck.
I did Aqua Gloss in a video test. Works great. I will be testing my new 2K Gloss on it today and posting it
Pledge floor gloss revive it works too on brush and airbrush as well.
That is SICK! Never thought about trying to decant those pens. Too cool! Also didn't know you could buy those Tamiya bottles, def will be ordering some of those ASAP. Thanks
Anytime buddy, thanks for watching
Awesome vid. I keep a collection of your test videos now instead of collecting spoons I paint. Bet this chrome will be great for candy colour base paint
This on the fly videos are my favorite
Almost seems like it would be best to dip parts in it so it's on all at once and not being dried as you go by the airbrush. Not sure if a rotating drying holder would help. Might keep the paint level and sag free. But also may effect the cured look because the paint is still moving around a constantly while spinning. Unlike a piece of paper or similar, sitting flat and still on a table.
I have a seen lot of videos on RUclips of people air brushing this and looks fantastic !
It does look great. I'll be testing the durability of it next week
Man that's just beautiful chrome
This is easily my favourite chrome paint, it's not cheap but it's a dream to work with. Word of advice: Mr. Leveling Thinner is perfect for thinning it, you add a little bit and it gets much easier to airbrush (and self-levels too). Any lacquer thinner should work but Mr. Leveling Thinner is my favourite.
Mr Leveling Thinner is my favorite item on my bench. When I'm half way down in the bottle I get more 😉 it's the best, I thin almost everything with it but forgot to with Molotow. Thanks for the tip.
@@barbatosrex9473 it says it’s alcohol base so wouldn’t you get better result thinning with alcohol? I don’t know I’m genuinely asking.
@@jamesfair9751 you can use either one. Like Tamiya paints, even though most use alcohol I use Leveling Thinner
@@jamesfair9751 Most alcohol-based paints can be thinned with hobby-grade lacquer thinners, and semi-gloss and glossy ones actually tend to thin better with some type of retarding additive (which is the difference between Mr. Leveling Thinner and regular Mr. Color Thinner, the Leveling Thinner has Drying Retarder in it to slow drying and allow the paint to level out while drying). I use it for all of my Tamiya X acrylics and all my Mr. Hobby Aqueous acrylics.
You can also use Mr. Rapid Thinner for flat finish alcohol-based acrylics. I use it with the Tamiya XF acrylics.
I read your comment and tried it. It does work well, but I also tried pure ethanol and it worked even better. Tried other thinners but they were bad (tamiya laquer, tamiya acrylic and store laquer)
Hey, first of all, thanks for all the reviews and tests, I can't even find most of those brands and products but is really relaxing and informative content!
Any chance we get a test on Molotow ONE4ALL acrylic paints on airbrush and even on brush someday in the future? I know it's not a proper model paint but it's one of the few brands that's easy to find around here (no idea why) and doesn't cost a ton for the amount it come in the refil bottles.
I am going to order paints directly from Molotow so I do plan on a video test
Tip for your airbrush technique - keep the air ON in between strokes, it'll reduce spatter.
I will keep that in mind. I had to change my technique a bit because of the camera. Still getting used to it
EXCELLENT! I'M GOING TO TRY THE MOLOTOW CHROME MARKER IN MY AIRBRUSHS.
Keep an eye on those dropper bottles. I don't know what the solvents in Alclad are, but they may dissolve the plasticizer in the rubber seals and bulbs, causing them to crumble.
I have found the pens to be excellent for the window trims with car and truck models. Also it does a nice job covering the areas you have to re-chrome when trimming off the areas you had to cut off the chrome sprew. I haven't tried air brushing it but wow, what a demo you've done here Rex. I am about to test the Alclad chrome for the first time but maybe the Molotow is better? I guess I'll soon find out. It does dry. I coat it with a clear coat to help prevent it rubbing off, which it will do with too much handling. Well, from my experience anyways.
hi may i ask what clear coat you used? Thanks
@@tianskywalker I just used Pledge Revive it Floor Polish. (Future) It's acrylic and had no adverse effects on the chrome paint. I haven't tried a lacquer clear or enamel yet.
@@acrowe2512 how long did you wait before putting the pledge on
@@edsouza6600 I waited at least a full day (24 hours) for the chrome to completely dry. Maybe that's overkill but since I'm in no hurry... that's what I did. Not an expert by any means.
@@acrowe2512 I've waited a week and applied with a q tip on the grille of a 1/43 scale semi, and it dulled the molotow significantly, with pledge. Is there something else I can try instead of pledge.
Available in 30ml 'pen refill' tube.
I found on Amazon bulk box of glass eye droppers. Washable, can sit in lacquer or paint thinner to dissolve dried paint. I wash in my sonic cleaner, but one is not necessary. Box has lasted many, many years. Rubber bulb has never dried or cracked. I also don't get thinner in the bulb, but wash with soap & water anyway. Box must be at least 20 years old, no exageration.
Like clearcoat for cars. To get a mirror look instead an orage peel it needs to be applied strongly
really enjoyed this video, and especially enjoy your tips and tricks
Thanks buddy, I have many more to come. Thanks for watching
This is what I was looking for. Love your Work
Thank you my friend 👍
@@barbatosrex9473 what Is the best Clear for this, I've waited a week and put some pledge on it, it dulled it significantly, I applied it with a air brush, second attempt to clear I applied it with a q tip, same result. What am I missing here. Please help.
How was the durability? Man! that is a great chrome finish. This would be my go to chrome paint
Well it's not too durable but after weeks of drying it dried pretty good, not very durable but at least I could handle it without it being ruined
I saw a video of another guy and he used a clear coat. It went on great and did not loose its shine. ruclips.net/video/UV9a1QxEw0A/видео.html
I caught a video of a guy and showed durability and put a coat of clear and did not change the brightness. seemed indestructible. ruclips.net/video/UV9a1QxEw0A/видео.html
Thanks for this advice!
I am convinced that molotow chrome would be the best option for chrome effects, now a doubt, does it accept varnish for protection?
I save my old testors paint jars for paint mixing in small batches. Just Goo Gone the labels off or use a plastic scraper & a little paint stripper on a paper towel to clean residue.
I 100% agree! This is great stuff.....BUT! Now what? What do you do to effectively protect it. I have tried nearly everything, from E7, Pledge, Aquagloss clearcoat....everything kills the shine. If you...breathe on, touch, look sideways at, or even mention it's name disparagingly....it will fog! 🤪 LOTS of good chromes out there, Krylon Foil is one, out of the can....the secret sauce here is....what clearcoat will protect it, and maintain the shine! Now I will step down, off of my box. 🙃
I appreciate how much money you save me. Genuinely, and it seems like you have a great time doing the tests that save us money :D
NAIL POLISH TEST LOLOL YESSSS
Good tip on the dropper bottles! I have been using empty Alclad bottles for storage but it doesn't have the dropper tool and I'm highly resistant to using disposable pipettes. I produce enough waste as is, you know? The cool thing about empty Alclad bottles is that a lot of them have labels you can basically erase with lacquer thinner and then use a sharpie for your own info. But it doesn't have that dropper which I want so badly.
Have you considered streaming your building processes? Its not a thing everyone enjoys doing but a lot of folk find this type of content to be relaxing, satisfying, and educational. I've been encouraged to look into it because I love this hobby so much but my content would be "Learn from me by watching me fail repeatedly and do things I really shouldn't do."
I've been thinking about a build video a couple things hold me back. I would need better equipment for filming and editing for sure. And I love to listen to my music when I build, in particular metal music. Plus there's so many great builders here that it's really intimidating to me. I feel I wouldn't want to watch me after seeing these other great builders : )
Best part of the video, when he changes the shirt LOL
Hey man, hope you are good. I've tried the Molotow out but I left it for 3 days to cure and it still dulls when I touched it, Also tried some clear coats on it and the immediately dulled the mirror finish. Did you ever test the durability or any clear coats over it.
I just got some pledge floor protector so may try that out and see if it gives a better result, thanks man - excellent video.
Hello. Did you ever use the Pledge? I'd like to know because I just air brushed some wheels with Molotow.
@@bradbroemmer9106 Hi Brad, no unfortunately not, I haven't had the chance to.
@@anthonyricco5522 Any updates on your trial of the pledge?
@@tallmanwsor hi there - no - sorry haven't had a chance yet.
I love your vids. I was hoping to find another on the molotow clear coat results? Everything I have tried that I had on hand dulled it. Let me know what you found I would really appreciate it.
The chrome stars inside the front and rear badges on my 2006 subaru have become water damaged and I'm going to use this to refurbish them.
Thumbs up btw.
Have you ever tried tinting the chrome with alcohol inks? I’d like to have a black chrome that I can apply with a marker.
Did you ever post results of the durability test? I couldn't find a vid.
Yeah, been looking for this too.
I would love an update on this, especially if you found out details on clear coats and durability. From my experience nothing worked (that didnt dull the shine) except the Spaz Stix product. And then its was hit or miss even then.
I have found the the Vallejo acrylic clear does not smudge the chrome
@@Mecustoms17 The regular Model Color clear, the Mecha Color clear, or the Metal Gloss clear, out of curiosity? Or does it not matter?
I've heard the Metal Gloss one also works on Alclad, but I haven't tried it myself, so... 🤷♂️
I love the video thank you !!!!!
Molotow makes a refill bottle. it is about $30 but it's also 30ml. You get more for your money and don't have to jack with dissecting the pen. I don't really like spraying it as it never really seemed to cure for me and came off any time I touched it. I even waited 2 weeks and it still just rubbed right off before I could attach a bumper to a car body. Also clear coating it dulled it down bad for me. But I love using it to brush paint tiny details on things like interior parts that will never get touched.
I'm going to test Aqua Gloss over it soon
When i airbrushed it, it didnt come out shiny, how come?
What do you think a good clear coat sealer to use for this on plastic/ 3d PVA prints?
The new Pledge "Revive It" floor gloss. It's back to the old formula of Johnson's "Klear", I haven't tried it on this yet but I reckon it'll work.
Coooool Chrome Effect!!, Best I've Seen Thus Far For Airbrushing ..Wondering /Curious tho ....If One Was To Airbrush a Gloss Clear Over It ...such as Cheap Future/Quick Shine ?..Would It Still Retain His Shine/Durability, As You Have Shown Your Viewers/Subscribers ( I mentioned Future/Quick Shine , as in turn , is more cost effective for my budget ATM..As Always Look Forward To Your Expert Opinion Robert!!!..Hope Your Wife Is Improving Day By Day?!:):)
How you doing today. I don’t know where I can ask a question?? All try hear. I painted a car with Mcw lacquer Then cleared. By far one of my best. Well I put a mark in it. I thought I’d just buff out. Got the mark out,now fine scratches and hazy fog look. I used novice. Any suggestions I got windows in the car was done
Every situation is different. Can you mask off the area and just clear that. Then maybe blend it from there
Hi, thanks for the video, very good and helpful. Maybe I missed but can you please advise the psi or bar level of compressor?
15 to 18 psi
I use this stuff a lot. Painted my T-800 terminator arm with it. Let me know if you would like pictures of it. When I buy this stuff its better to buy it on Amazon because you get a larger quantity for what you pay.
If you put a Klear Kote on it, it will fade some. Im waiting for my Aqua and looking forward to testing it. The thing is with this stuff is that it takes a long time to cure. If you dont wait long enough, you can leave indentations like finger prints on your work. also, this stuff doesnt require a black base because of how thick it is, even though it looks watery. I just prime it black. I use 15 on the pressure when using it like the alclad stuff. You just have to spray it "wet", unlike normal paint as well. in your vid you were spraying it like normal paint. You have to spray constantly until it gets wet then avoid overspray
BTW I subscribed to your channel. Seems we have a few things in common. Love your vids.
Thanks for the feedback and watching.
I wanted to love Molotow. Tried three different markers, they work great the first time, then immediately go to shit. There's still paint in it, it still comes out, but grainy and separated and utterly not like chrome. Just thinking about it pisses me off due to the cost of the things.
Rex, was the durability test ever done?
I searched your videos for "molotow" and didn't see one. Was it mentioned in another video w/out Molotow in the title? Thanks
In a weeks time, can you do a durability test on this please? Also how well does it respond to Clear? What about Liquid Gold? I have a need for this in my current project, but I'd really like to know it's going to work as a long term solution.
I will be testing the durability soon. I will put a clear on it too. Plus a new chrome test for Spaz Stix including their special clear coat is coming soon, before the weekend
congrats on 1k!
Thanks buddy, took awhile but all of a sudden the last couple months my vids started to get noticed. A ton more planned
I wonder if it was the type of base that gave you trouble. Enamel spray paint has given me hell so many times when I try to layer over it. Sometimes it works fine, other times it's a nightmare. Even when fully cured for a long time.
have you tried to lightly buff it with a buffing cloth
Put it in a dehydrator at 110 for about a half hour. Hardens nice and durable
I love my dehydrator, one of my best purchases
I wonder if you could use that with the gundam marker airbrush system. That paticuler size might not fit but would be interesting to see.
Probably would work. Gundam Markers now have there own chrome marker and it's great. That would work on the marker airbrush system
What sealer did you use for the molotow chrome liquid?
I watched a diff video of a guy he was using the market instead of air brushing & he tried a few diff dealers & he liked (Alclad II)
Its true what people are saying about durability, don't touch it for at least a couple of days. I tried a enamel clear gloss over it which destroyed the mirror effect
Maybe I'll spray it and put it in my dehydrator I just tested to see how it comes out
@@barbatosrex9473 i was looking into this problem and apparently the Alclad clear coat or tamiya x22 are the ones to use to seal it in.
FINALLY!!!! I’ve been waiting for this video!!!!!!!!! I have one myself, and it’s one of the most used tools in my painting Arsenal. Have you gotten my email yet? And my the way, to open them, you can pop open the top, rather than doing everything you went through.
I was very impressed by your Gundam build. Excellent work. Keep it up. Your skills are great
@@barbatosrex9473 Thank you so much! You’re such an inspiration to me, so it means so much to me! I am now working on a candy painting on my rg wing zero gundam, and I’m going a lot of fading and stuff, from the burnt exhaust tutorial you made. Do you have any criticisms on the freedom? I’d love to hear if you did.
I wonder how it would look if you sprayed a clear coat on top
Clear coat on top ruined the chrome look. Check out my video on the best clear coat for Alclad Chrome
I wonder a) what metal this is made of and 2) if it's electrically conductive after being applied.
great video, can you use the black gloss base as a finish cote? Or is it strictly base paint. Also, could you give me a link to the airbrush you used in this video?
waiting for you to do bright gold
Nice Video. Molotow likes to be heavy and wet. If you spray it heavier, it will be shiner and smoother; I think you sprayed it a little too "gentle" 😁. While other Chrome may seen to be able to compare to Molotow when sprayed on spoon or curve surfaces, try spraying it on larger flatter surfaces like the bonnet of a car and you will see a huge difference.
I have 2 issues with them though. One, it takes days even a week for it to cure and it is not very durable (I thin it with alcohol to make it dry faster). Two, have to store it very carefully otherwise the paint will oxidize... (not on sprayed surfaces but in the paint bottle).
Your are correct on all counts. I was just curious as to how this would spray. I'm letting it dry at least a week and then I'm testing the Aqua Gloss over it and see the results. Stay tuned
My wife bought me a set of pens from a company called Artugn. She got them on Amazon and the set had 6 pens, 3 each chrome and gold. Both colors have 3 different sizes of tip included. So far the chrome pens work and look exactly like the higher priced Molotow product. And, at a cost of approximately $16.00 for 6 pens, they’re a much better deal. I should note that when I used these pens I used them as is and not in an airbrush, so I can’t speak to the viability of that delivery method. That said, I’ve used Molotow pens before and these Artugn pens seem to be a virtual clone. Also note that, while the chrome pens replicate the same ultra reflective finish you get with Molotow pens, the gold pens in this set dried to a matte finish. I’ve no idea if applying the gold with an airbrush would affect the end result.
Most gold is like this. One of the toughest finishes to achieve is a chrome gold. The best gold chrome I've tested so far is Inspire Candy Gold and that needs to be airbrushed over a silver or chrome base
Is Mirco Gloss great on all chrome paint? Would it keep the same chrome shine after use?
Most clear coats on top of chrome takes away the chrome look. A recent video I tested AK Interactive 1K Super Gloss and that one seems to do a decent job
there are refill bottles which contain 30ml for about 20€. how much was in that marker (with a 3 or 4 ml content) which cost about 7€. dripstick refill is 250ml for about 9€...
Get video, what did you use to clean the airbrush with when you were done shooting the Chrome?
Alcohol and then acetone
Awesome video sir. Still watching it, but I wish you would have tried to clear a few of them so we can see what works. Either way thank you sir.
I'll clear some and post a Pic in the community section
The Molotow website actually "says" it can be used for airbrushing with the refill which is currently like $28 on Amazon.
Way too much I would say. I got the marker with a 40% coupon, that's why I gave this a shot. It does look good a d it finally has fully dried 😉
So why did you get the marker if you just wanted the paint ?
Just found your channel great tips thank you, quick question what type of airbrush do you use and psi level
GSI Creos Mr Hobby Procon Boy Platinum usually around 20psi. You can also control the air flow from this particular airbrush. Have you seen my video on my full airbrush set up? I go over everything and I have links to the airbrush there. Thanks for watching
Great tests on these Chrome paints. Which would you use if building the Tamiya Mercedes GT3 as the Linkin Park Chrome livery
I would go with Alclad. Their black chrome is awesome
Hey Rex, to touch up a chrome car emblem (toyota), that cant be removed from the car...would you recommend trying to dab these to create a little pool and then using a fine brush to touch the damaged parts of the badge? I don't know how well it's to compare to an electroplated factory chrome though.
Can't compare electroplating, that's the best. But that will work. You can tty Green Stuff World Chrome for brushing, they make both, brush on and airbrush on.
@Barbatos Rex thanks for the reply. Very much appreciated 🙏
Since this is not technically an airbrush paint, can this cause any potential damage to the brush? Or can it clean out like normal? Love the results!
Will cause no problems at all to the airbrush. Welcome to the channel
Any updates on this and what you found for durability? I tried this and it sat for weeks, but never fully cured.
Even if you allow it several months to fully cure, it will all the same be vulnerable to handling. On top of that, (no pun intended) Molotow Liquid Chrome is notoriously difficult to protect with a clear coat because just about anything you spray on it will either visibly dull the shine or obliterate it entirely. Hence why, despite its brilliance, the product remains a no-go for *serious* modelers. (Speaking of whom, they also apparently don't consider spoons as adequate test mules). It is so frustratingly redundant to see video after video conduct the same damn experiment without bothering to learn from the tests that came way before and thus with nothing new to add except more confusion.
Lastly, it's important to understand that the way Molotow works is completely different from those other metalics by AKA, Alclad II, Spaz Stix, etc. In fact, you could almost say it's the exact opposite - not only do you hose it down, as opposed to sneaking up with thin layers, but also, because of it's self-leveling nature, you don't really need to undercoat it either. This test, instead of trying different undercoats, which was an needless waste of time, should've focused on topcoats.
If you'd care for a... still not quite perfect but heck of a lot more *useful* experiment that came two whole years before this one, here's a link: ruclips.net/video/bRZgtjekfgU/видео.html
(Sorry that it's not in English).
@@IllusionSector yeah, I'm aware of the basics of this product, which was why I was asking about how well, if at all, the top coat worked for it. It's a shame, because it looks great, it's just not a great product for everyday use.
Do you think thinning this stuff with something would make it spray on smoother, yet still look chromey?
It is alcohol based like Green stuff world chrome it cuts with isopropo alcohol 99%
What pressure did you use? Did you have to thin it at all to spray it?
I didn't thin it, 18 psi
try a black base then seal the black, do it in 1 coat, put on heavy, you dont get good results with more than 1 coat
What would valejo colorshift look like over this?
try culture husltle's mirroriest chrome, it's super liquid and expensive but it covers ten spoons with one drop. But I do love Molotow
Planning on a Culture Hustle test video. Shopping with them now. Also the blackest black too
I know it's been a while since this video was made but have you found any successful clear coats to use over the molotow liquid mirror? I tried using some Super Clear III to no avail, any suggestions? Thanks, I love your vids, keep it up!
Nothing so far, the best thing was Alclad Aqua Gloss
@@barbatosrex9473have you tried pledge floor shine?
What is the suggested cure time for the molotow chrome if airbrushed, and does it need a clear if I intend clean and dust my models regularly.
Hello
Thank you so much for all these test videos. I'm curious - which do you like better - Molotow Chrome or Spaz Stix? I have just a plastic headlight casing on a tank bicycle that I need to "chrome" and I have never worked with an airbrush. I'm good with spray paint though.
The Spaz Stix is my pick
@@barbatosrex9473 I haven't had any luck with the airbrushing the Molotow or Spaz Stix or even Stuart Temple's Chrome paint. The paint comes out blotchy with some bright and chromey sections and others that are more of a dull silver like you would get from a Krylon spray can. Wondering what I'm doing wrong. Could it be humidity? Too big or too small of an airbrush needle? I am spraying an area that's about 5" by 5" - not just a spoon. Anyway, I have really learned a lot from watching your videos! Thank you so much.
@@streamlinemoderne fill me in. Airbrush your using, air pressure, what state or country are you in.
Where did you get the dropper bottles
Hi can I use this on Metal? Do I also need a primer first? Thx
Yes you can use this on metal no problem. A primer helps with durability but it's not needed
Yeah I yelled when you tossed the marker w all the thick residule chrome left inside it.
I thin it with rubbing alcohol since it's alcohol based, get about 3-4 times more use that way, even thinner it with hand sanitizer which worked better in marker. It's too thick not thinner wish I'd have known that 11 markers ago.
I ended up keeping that maker. Now I'll have to shake some isopropyl in it. As an update, the spoon you see here is now more durable after all this time of curing.
What size airbrush need was used?
How did you clean the airbrush?

Why not just get Spazstix Mirror Chrome? have great results with it on my Rc bodies. I just bought one of these to use for window trim
I have a video on Spaz Stix Mirror Chrome. Check it out on my channel. Great stuff
What pressure did you spray at?
Try on white spoon...
I'm thinking about buying a newer system that starts at like 3K...
I haven't looked at the info they sent...
Yet... but their video was impressive... as goo and less work/steps as the painting it on a helmet videos....
It's hard to find someone local who actually does chroming...
Iowa...
I'm hearing, "send it to Nebraska, near Omaha....
So does it hold up good at the end? I tried searching your channel but cant seem to find the follow-up video.
It fully cures in about a week. Have you seen my latest video on Super Chrome?
Would a Clearwater help the rough surface... ??
Well it did dry super smooth
They actually look a lot like Oneida spoons! The others all look like camping spoons.
is molotow acrylic based, that's what the amazon specs say
this molotow stuff eats right through my Mr.Color lacquer paints. cant use them for accenting
You were totally fine in the pink shirt until you called it Muave LOL
Can you spray candy colors on top to make colored chrome? I have been looking for chrome paints that does not lose its "chrome" when layered with top coat. Most of the chrome paints becomes just grey when layered with candy color or even just a clear top coat.
I didn't have a problem spraying candy colors over this or Alclad Chrome. I actually just sprayed chrome over a piece painted red and that looked great. You can see it in my latest picture in my community section of my channel
@@barbatosrex9473 Thank you! I hope I can find something similar in my country so I could try this.
