Whats the stuff in a can liike? I hear when you touch it, it dulls but if you cover it with clear will that solve that problem? I also hear this stuff is like 12bux us for a can. Anyone here ever used it?
man, that shit is $12 + tax for a 4 oz. can...
it is exaclty the same as this stuff i got at walmart for 4 something for an 11oz. can
it was honestly a waste of money. everyone on here makes a big deal out of the alclad chrome. well, i did everything as instructions said. and sprayed it on and it is silver, not actual chrome like it is made out to be. i mean it is close but this stuff from walmart looked better when i sprayed it on.

no problem man.... just lookin out for you guys here. even if it means me taking a fall myself to find out answers. lol
actually i asked about this a couple of months back because i had been looking at it for awhile and wasnt sure about it. everyone seemed clueless about it like it didnt really exsist or something. lol
but i finally broke down and bought some last friday and was pissed! lol
not to mention i had to buy some black TAMIYA acrylic paint to put under it for another $3.00 for a small ass bottle. because you have to use this as a base because it is a waterbased paint. the guy at the store told me this is what i needed for it when i asked. and it also said the same thing on alclads website when i got home.
Damn, sorry to hear about your results Mad Modeler, but I have seen a couple of models that looked pretty good with that Alclad. Of course its not going to come out as shiny as kit or plated chrome, but thats what the dudes I talked to liked about it. I guess it's just the lowriders that like their chrome triple dipped and gleaming! =)
i admit it's not as good as the real plating, but it's still damn good, I like it, and it saves me big bucks from plating shit. Testor's chrome can't touch it.

well, actually i brushed on a pretty thick coat of TAMIYA SemiGloss Black Acrylic and then sprayed 2 good coats of the walmart chrome over it once it dried completely.
still thinking about some testors GLOSSCOAT over it to see how it looks. :dunno:
its just a spare rear i had left over from one of my 59 Implalas so i used it as a test piece. lol
I've been searching all over to see if anyone has instruction on how I can install my " Fenix Lowrider Triple Mini Bee Bike Bicycle Lights" I'm in the process of building a trike and was planning on mounting the light to the basket and to a 12v battery. So far I've had zero success with powering...
