Default Fascolor chrome paint

Any hints or tips for using it with an airbrush ?

It always seems to come out "flat" looking when I use it

It isn't a mirror chrome, more an aluminium.

Two to three coats, then back with black.

cheerz andy

yep, faskrome is a coarse flake like the aa aluminum base i sell.

for proper mirror chrome there's the rcs chrome.

havent had time to update the site. so heres a little update while im posting

now available are the rcs candies updated and ready to rock. they stick to the lexan like the proverbial to a blanket.
available in 1&2oz and 8&16 if needed.
purple,fuchsia,gold,yellow,orange,green turquoise,blue,red and black.
also got a pearl red and pearl black.
thinners will be available also for cleaning your brush or for adjusting the strength of the candies to personal preference.
looking to be getting them in cans also for people that dont have an airbrush.
just working on an rc mini stencil set - various textures
rcs tees and hoodies available soon with sponsors and names optional.

like said, if something isnt up on the site just ask

Jon, the Candies, will they give a 'hard anodized' look like the Spaz stuff?
