Has anyone ever used Zero Paints: Mercedes CLK GTR Brilliant Silver or Audi R8-R10 TDI Lemans Silver?
Hey guys Im still looking for the right silver for my Xj220 build. I went ahead and ordered these paints a whim to see how they would look. Judging from the photos in the bottle the flake appears to be very fine but I will not know for sure until they arrive.
My last batch of zero paints silver had a very fine flake but the tint was off. I considered using MM steel metalizer but I would like to use something that's a little more designed to "shine" so to speak for car bodies. The metalizer also tends to dry so fast that it "dusts" residue on the model. I was curious if anyone had tried these paints if so do you have any photos you could share? The Zero paints gallery is quite limited. |

I've never used the exact paints you mention, but the finest silver I've used from Zero was the undercoat layer for the candy colours. I think that comes in 3 versions, fine, medium and coarse. I used the fine and it was excellent. Also check out Finisher's paint. I'm sure they do a special paint for the CLK Mercedes that's really fine flakes..

Thanks Steve. I was actually going to order the extra fine base coat but it sold out. I didn't want to take a chance on just the "fine" base coat. But it sounds like it's a good one from your experience.

Yes, the fine candy base is good. It gives a very fine metallic effect. It's what I used on my Suzuki Hayabusa build, under the Candy Red. I've heard really good things about that Finisher's CLK silver too. Apparently it has very fine flakes and sprays beautifully..

I actually just googled images of Finishers Fine Silver. Looks like it's what I've should have ordered all along! Oh well. I just ordered it on ebay. I'm going over kill on silver until I find the right one. It's just that important to me.
If I don't make use of these zero paints I'll be more than willing to sell them cheap to anyone in the states. I know getting your hands on zero paints isn't easy. |
