Liquid gold paint suggestiobs
Hi all
Inspired by a pic I saw online of a liquid chrome Mercedes SLR McLaren, I thought I would do the same to my Aoshima Aventador 50th Ann kit, albeit in gold, rather than the pearl yellow they suggest. Vallejo do a range of liquid metal paints which actually have metal particles suspended in alcohol. These look ok however they can only be thinned with 96% or better alcohol & may present shipping issues. Does anyone have other suggestions on what to use? |

Re: Liquid gold paint suggestiobs
Hi Seamus;
Try dropping Scott Taylor a line at SMS paints here in Australia about this. Don't mean to steer you away from here but if you are on Facebook they do have a Facebook page and Scott replies very quickly. Maybe you could invite him here to participate if it is allowed. I haven't been active here since Oct 2010 so have to catch up on what current rules are. He has the new Lacquer Chrome paints out now and a few of the car guys are experimenting with different colours over the Cold Chrome version now on the Facebook page. Might have to scroll down a but though but the posts are there. A clear yellow or orange over the chrome sounds like what you are looking at. Scott could answer this instantly with proportions etc to use. Regards Tony |

Thanks Tony. I might give that a go. I'm thinking I might try a little experiment myself - I have a spray can of 'liquid' or super chrome from Supercheap (used for chrome bumper touch-ups). I'll see how that comes up with a coat of clear yellow over the top

Re: Liquid gold paint suggestiobs
To give you an alternative, when I need to paint metal colours I always use Alclad 2 paints. https://alclad2.com/
They have a nice range of colours for you to check out. And if you want a golden colour that really pops, they silver with a coat of their candy yellow. |
