Man I am new to airbrush and I have made it through all of your videos. What you are putting out here is just invaluable to anyone who wants to learn. I really appreciate what you do. Keep rocking it.

Not trash! Don't forget to record those instances of 'eating through basecoat' because they can be incredibly useful for creating various textures you might want to add (and usually paint over with matt paint topcoats): armor, clothing on figures, diorama textures, damage texture, etc.

Awesome gold candy. These look to be great for painting some Adeptus Custodes.

Yet another enlightening bright colorful paint comparison. Thanks for sharing.

Edit - All due respect to Barbatose Rex. Ive learned a lot here but the chrome is being applied too heavy in this video. In my opinion this chrome knocks Alclad off the throne. The mist coats wet out better resulting in a more reflective and consistent finish than alclad.
Start with 1 single (no back and forth or one after another) pass of a fine mist coat, stop, dry with hair dryer or air dry, wipe with soft cloth or feather duster followed by 4 or more single pass, mist coats, same as the first, drying and feather dusting between. After the first couple of mist coats it seemed to tolerate heavier mist coats but wasn't necessary. I sprayed this through my Sotar 2020, .15 nozzle at 25psi. The needle stop was set 2.0 numbers out from fully seated. Custom Paints' 2k clear with fast activator over the top resulted in somewhere around a 20% reduction in reflectivity and requires 2 extremely light mist coats to completly dry before laying on a single wet coat.

Interesting. I don't know if I saw anything that would sway me to add to my current paint list though. I'm very interested to see how the clear 2K looks over chrome test.

Inspire is generally a Urethane based paint, at least the Kandies are. The Gold Kandy and Chrome base you used there only requires a few light coats much like Alclad, that's why the mirror effect went away after you laid on more coats. Chrome is tricky that way and with Chrome and Kandies a little is more, that's why the Gold looks more like a gold Chrome than a Gold Kandy. Urethane over Laquers can have a terrible Krazing effect, that can end up looking great if that's the goal and you play around with it (Most people will use saran wrap trick to that effect). Great video as always love what you do, always a great time.

P.S When you think about how large these bottles are and their complete Kandy set is $94 for 10 4oz bottles like you have here. Amazing price for that much paint, I might actually switch over from Alclad which is my go to Chrome and Kandy brand.

I've had a client asking me to paint a C-3PO piece for years, and nothing I've tested has come close to what we wanted. This looks like it might be it, though... Great find and great share, BR!

[joshuaslack]

Pretty good looking paints. Unrelated topic - I would love to see some of your custom kits!

[JohnPage-bk]

Another great review of a different brand of paint. I've had Custom Paint as one of my internet favorites and have a couple of their "CANZ" products but none of their "Inspire" line. That will soon change thanks to your review. I can't wait for your review of other "Inspire" products. Thank you for another great and informative video.

Finally a top coat that works on a chrome!

[rindarusdi]

Looking at the result of the spoons really make me thinking about my next project repainting my kits with chrome, that would be great! Nice information, sir thank you so much

[HOSoarin]

Thank you so much, finally a gold chrome paint to finish off my Daft Punk helmet. It has been sat on my shelf for a few months.

[FTWBIFY]

Great video! That chrome is amazing because you can clear over it! And a good reflection 😎

[antithesisjones]

That candy gold over chrome is something to behold. Thanks for another great video!

[paulpitmon]

That clor is so rich, and warm. I like this alot.

[martinarrieta]

Oh hey this is a blast from the past. They have these Pearl effect paints that I had to hunt down for Unicorn builds. Red and Green pearls were great for the red and green active Psychoframe to let the Psychoframe color “bleed” onto the white parts.
When I ordered them, they were mainly a car paint company or that’s all I could find.

[decadentdave]

Might have to paint a Terminator tank with your polished alloy. 😉

[blodhemn]

That gold chrome looks amazing. Very impressive. Search complete.

[patrickwells]

I love that candy Gold over their Chrome. that testure of the gold over the alclad looks like a vinyl top
