Metalcast Anodized Coating, Gloss, Red, 11 oz

The cool on this paint is so cool. Goes on smooth. Dries fast.

It may only be my situation but I looked at this metal cast smoke as a way to take my bright chrome "plastic clad" wheels down to a much darker shade to better match the "Night Runner" effect I'm going for without just going to a black wheel. Then I get the cans in the mail and the cap looks very much like the chrome already on my wheels! Well I have already replaced my original mirrors so I took one of them with the plastic "chrome" covers and figured it was time for a test run. Since this was only a test I spent only a little time with a degreaser wipe down and a very light sanding with 1000grit wet/dry sandpaper. I dropped on three light coats of gray sandable primer 10 minutes apart. (Note: Duplicolor says use their MC100 Metalcast Ground Coat under this instead of a standard primer) I waited 20 minutes and then did three light coats of the smoke 10 minutes apart (has a 1 hour flash time) and since this was not a wheel paint, I figured I'd cover the smoke with the Duplicolor clear wheel coating to protect it a little better. Again three light coats 10 minutes apart. First off, when the smoke goes on, it is in fact the color shown on the cap in the picture. Light coats start out looking spotty but after three light coats, it's dark and looks great. As advertised, this can be done at this point because you get nice metal look by itself. Second, if you do use a clear coat on top of the smoke be advised that when you first spray it on the smoke will immediately look like it is turning an almost white light gray and you think you've ruined it! Thankfully though if you walk away and let it dry for the same 10 minute interval and return, the smoke has also returned to its original dark color and once you put on three light coats you have a great looking dark smoke color with a great shine! As with most clear coats even though the can says two light coats followed by one medium coat stick with three light coats. I tried a "light" medium third coat and got some runs. It is very easy to do so stick to the light coats and it looks great. This Metalcast Smoke is great. I highly recommend this product.

Great product. Performs as advertised but the user must understand, this is NOT a typical, opaque enamel spray paint. Because it is a transparent paint, multiple coats must be applied VERY thinly with adequate flash time between coats. Initial coats must be extremely thin. If you can see full color after 1 or 2 coats, it WILL run. Color must be built slowly. It took me 5 thin coats flashing with a heat gun between coats to achieve the color depth I was looking for, and it did deliver the results I wanted. My shop was a bit chilly (+- 62Deg F) so I pre-warmed the surface with the heat gun. Surface must be cleaned well for proper adhesion. I was applying it to a raw aluminum surface that I had engine turned the surface and cleaned with Acetone just prior to painting. Looking forward to using it on other projects.

Great Price Fast Shipping but not what I was expecting.. too much prep to do it right when painting plastic with this paint , No drips but terrible color nothing like the can shows.

I used this today and it worked great. If you want a good looking blue on something you have. It is very easy to use and has a great finish that is very glossy on what i used it for. It’s the best priced for the quantity i seen on here. It covers well and works well on various things. Get you a can and check it out. 👍

Beautiful Paint

Where is the quality? I don't mean about the color, because the color is perfect. But why do I have to suffer through the fact that it will not stop spraying after i'm done? I had to yank the head off of the spray can to make it stop and even then, it kept spitting red paint everywhere. Amazing, perfect coverage, very beautiful bud.I don't need to get covered in paint when i'm using a spray can. I ask, where is the quality. I am literally typing this right now. As the can empties itself upside down without a nozzle on it, because it wouldn't stop spraying, but it also wouldn't stop spitting its paint out of it. I love the color. It coded perfectly. But I did not need to have my fingers covered along with everything else near me when I was trying to make it stop spraying. This is worse than 3m products. That literally stick to nothing but human skin. And ten years ago I would have spent half as much. I'm really really mad. But darn, the projects I was working on, look amazing.. I bought a second can that arrived yesterday. This can will not spray anything at all! If I could give zero stars, I would give zero stars. Thank you so much for and a half cans of paint that I cannot use.

This is the first of 3 cans used, that was bad. It literally sputtered the entire can. Now strip and sand again. Besides delaying me 4 more days because of ordering. Overall I love the product. However make sure that you prime what you paint. It is not good for plastic foundation that out the hard way. I

Super produit reproduit tres bien l'effet anodisé rouge. En application sur de l'aluminium polie grace a dupli color red effet anodisé rouge garantie.

This brand of paint is unquestionably. One of the best. The coat is fantastic put it over a mirror silver and you won’t believe your eyes to finish is extremely hard. Doesn’t fade in the sun doesn’t get any discolouration even on the toughest projects like outdoor metal ornaments just about every other paint I’ve ever used and big brand ones. Can’t hold up these two and you don’t need to clearcoat go for it as is.

I did not expect that it would give me exactly the color I was looking for.. I used it to spray the RB26 engine hood.. but I hope that the dye will not fly away due to the heat. I have not confirmed yet, but in general the color was wonderful.

Buena calidad

I absolutely love this product! I’m totally devastated that It is not going to be produced any more! Please pease please reconsider!
