Troubleshooting

Paint appears dull or uneven.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed. Apply thin, even coats of paint and allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Check the airbrush settings for appropriate pressure and flow.

Paint is chipping or flaking.

Ensure the surface is clean and primed correctly. Avoid touching the painted surface until it's fully cured.

Airbrush clogging.

Use the appropriate thinner for alcohol-based paints to clean the airbrush thoroughly. Ensure the paint is properly mixed before use.

Brush strokes are visible.

Use a soft-bristled brush and apply the paint in thin, even coats. Consider using an airbrush for larger areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional mirror-like finish.
  • Excellent adhesion and coverage.
  • UV resistance for long-lasting results.
  • Suitable for both airbrush and brush application.
  • Fine particle alignment enhances the mirror effect.
  • Durable and long lasting results.

Cons

  • Best results on homogeneous surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Compatibility: Compatible with most model surfaces, but optimal results are achieved on smooth, homogeneous surfaces.
  • Application Tools: Use an airbrush or a fine-tipped brush for application. Ensure tools are cleaned thoroughly after each use.
  • Surface Preparation: Prepare the surface by cleaning and priming it to ensure proper adhesion. A smooth base will enhance the final chrome effect.
  • Thinning: The paint is ready to use and does not need to be thinned for airbrushing; however, if needed, use a suitable thinner for alcohol-based paints.
  • Airbrush Settings: Use low pressure settings (15-20 PSI) when airbrushing and apply thin coats to prevent runs or pooling.
  • Care: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to prevent evaporation.
