Zengin Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Just wanted to share my attempt at a 1:1 3d printed and finished replacement part for my Horikawa robots. Left is printed and right is original. Thanks, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zengin Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 resin printers print so well i just had to lightly sand it, then airbrushed molotow on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried every "chrome" paint on the market and i have a tote of once used cans/bottles... nothing has every even approached the quality this stuff delivers! plus this stuff does not require a base coat and can be stripped easily if it needs redone.

funkrobotik Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Cheers Zengin. Can buy it in cans as I can only find it in marker pens and refill tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckalkhof Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Very nice, looks perfect! I use Alclad chrome paint and found it to work well. However, based on your results, I think I'll try Molotow for a future project. Thanks for sharing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
