funkrobotik Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Seems you guys over in the US swear by this Molotow Chrome effect paint so does any body know where it can be purchased in the UK. Seen it on ebay US but shipping is horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian.. Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Plenty available in the UK. Try this link: Molotow Chrome Paint I use the 2mm tip for detail work and 4mm for larger areas. . It's also possible to refill the pens using the large 30 ml refill. There's a video on YouTube that shows you how to do it. Buy a couple of spare tips.

robothut Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Only thing I can add is just buy the 30 ml refill, you get so much more paint for the money and applying it with a small paint brush is just as easy or in most cases it is easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkrobotik Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 Bought it and tried it. Brilliant stuff but have you found a clear varnish that seals it. Tried normal aerosol but it dont like it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robothut Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 No you can not clear coat it with out changing the chrome look, or any chrome type paint for that matter. Just put it on thick and let it dry. It is very durable once cured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkrobotik Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Just been looking through youtube Molotow Chrome product reviews and Spaz Stix Chrome Varnish comes out as an excellent sealer with no loss of chrome effect. Some guy painting his wargame figures that get handled a lot found this. Anyone tried it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
