Woohoo! Putting an order in now - do I need reducer with any of these paints Jon? I'm using an entry level gravity fed brush with a 50psi compressor and will be starting on my second airbrush attempt with this little lot

Can't wait!

Thanks Eric! Just spotted that mate.

I had to dip into the stock for a bottle of white and I think it must be from their latest batch as it seems to flow super smooth. Depending on your gun and setup it should spray straight from the bottle. If you do need to thin them, being a waterbased system they can be thinned with just water. Auto air reducer works well and I will try to get some on my next restocking order. Liquitex airbrush medium is also good. Createx transparent based works also. I'm greedy so I tend to make a mixture up in some paint mixing bottles using a combination of all of them. haha

Will get them out monday for you.


Many thanks

Right, the verdict on the RCS Chrome...

Feckin awesome!
used it for the first time tonight and I was amazed. At first it just seems like any other chrome. but as you work with it you realise that it seems to bond to the plastic more than other chromes. I could peel off the masking liquid/film without any of the chrome paint peeling off, which I had problems with others when the paint was fresh and I was doing them quickly (eg 30min per shell sort of speed). With other chromes when the paint was being force dried, it made all the edges of the chrome paint seal with the masking, and thus, peeled the chrome off when you wanted to unmask.
This never happened once with the RCS chrome. Everything peeled off clean and crisp.

As for the finish, I've tried all the chromes on the market and this one is definately the best mirror finish.

As far as chromes go, this one is pretty much perfect.



Its dark now, so pics are not good, so I'll get some good pics tomorrow when theres more light.

These chrome paints look realy good is there anything like it for painting on the outside of things.The reason I ask is I've got some old CAT XLS wheels that have lost there shine.If there is would one of you shell painters consider painting them.

when painting on the outside, the surface need to be as glass like as possible. so the prep work would be quite time consuming or in other words costly
when done on lexan shells in reverse the lexan acts as the glassy base so no prep is needed.

Used it, approve it, like Tel, I used to hate using Chrome, as unless you left it till the last colour, or it had no surrounding masking, there was always the chance of it lifiting, RCS Chrome seemed to 'adhear' to the shell good and proper!

Got to admit, I had resorted to Alclad II as it was easy to get and reasonably cheap (compared to Spaz), but now we got your chrome, I am starting to use it much more.

What we need now, is a colour similar to the Anodized Spaz paint, so you can really use the chrome to back with good effect?
