I have been using Molotow Liquid Chrome for a few months now from both the pen and in my airbrush (No thinning required). I use Alclad Klear Kote over the top after a 3 day drying time and don't lose any shine. All other clear topcoats(Acrylic, Enamel and Laquer) I have tried have affected the reflectiveness of the surface
I tried this pen, the 1mm,. Worked vert well on landing struts. Went to use the same pen months later & could not use the pen, the paint dried the trip closed. Paint came out holding the tip depressed into a blob & wound up throwing it away.
You can easily clean up with zippo fluid before it dries up but the ink can take a week to fully cure. Future floor helps seal the chrome on and you lose around 10% of the shine.
Picked up the 1mm pen 6 months ago from hobbrama and the D9R Dozer you saw at the 2017 QMHE , I used the pen on the hydraulic rams. Was so happy with the results, I grabbed the 30mm refill for $45 also from Hobbyrama to spray through the airbrush. To be safe I give it 1 week just to be sure it's safe to touch. Andrew and Casey are always a great help when I drop in and keen to always to stop and chat.
I love these pens now. I always spend a good amount of time in Hobbyrama when in Brisbane. I remember your D9R it was beautiful mate. That was one of my fav kits to build. I am thinking about building the caged version as well.
I love these pens and helped me get 1st place in a model building contest adding that axtra detail! I just hate having to push on the tip to get it going because it messes it up after so many times. Kinda just make a puddle with the refill bottle on painters tape and dip the pens in it to do my detailing now. Been using them for years!
I heard when applying these to Chrome rims you should use a clear coat now are you supposed to put the clear coat on before or after the liquid Crown pen
im very late to the party with this video but i've been looking for a shiny chrome paint for the main body of the new Shard of the Void Dragon 40k model. He's made of a liquid, living metal so i thought shiny chrome would do nicely. it's great to hear that i can get this stuff from hobbyrama! next time i get the chance i'm going to pick up a tube for my airbrush. it's expensive but im willing to give it a shot.
Thanks for review,just got my chrome pens I AM GOING to apply this to 1/64 scale slot car bumpers and grills, 48 hour dry time good info'.!!! WELLL HEAR GOES NOTHING.!!! JAMES EAGLE. U.S.A
If you accidentally drop alcohol while it’s drying you are done. How come no one did trial and error. For what you can top coat so Al cohol doesn’t affect it after cure if accidentally dropped on it when dry.
Great to finally find an Aussie modeler on youtube. And you have a shop that I am about to check out. Cheers for uploading this review. I have subscribed
Hello! I have those pens and enjoy them immensely. My question is, what is the make of the rusty model car you were working on? I am looking for a 1969 Ford Fairlane 2-door hardtop, and this car looks like it. If it is, can you tell me where you purchased it? Thank you, Judy
Hi Judy. It is a ford but i have no idea where i got it from. Its an old amt kit. this is a link to one www.modelroundup.com/product-p/amt-31935.htm just look around they are still out there. Good luck.
Hello Scalemodelmania! Thank you so much for your quick reply to my question. I found very close to what I was looking for (the Ford) and have it on order. Have a nice day--Judy in Nova Scotia, Canada
I bought one , it don’t flow or come out of the tip,even if pressed several times, really poor to work with, you make it look like it was what I expected. What am I doing wrong ? It’s a piece of junk to use.
Just picked up my first chrome pen. I’ve known about them but just never got around to buying one. Wow, I hate metal foil and this Beats the Ol’ silver sharpie hands down. Lmao. Thanks for sharing. “J”🇨🇦

Thank you

In model car crafting I discovered placing items in front of a room fan will accelerate dry times of the alcohol based Molotow chrome.

Rip the tip out and put the ink in an airbrush

This looks amazing! Definitely looks like a good option to fix up the dash cluster rings on my old car.
Lol, big problem on my 156 and 166.
How about liquid gold chrome?
Is it water resist?
will i be able to cover a chrome spot in a sink without the water desolving the paint over time?
Could this be used on a mirror that has rubbed its coat off round the edges x
I love this video because it actually explains how to use the chrome pen on a model car

Could the tip be cleaned with alcohol or laquer thinner to keep it from hardening?
How it behaves with varnishes?
Will this work on plastics? Looking to refurbish the GTi logo and shifter knob on my mk6 golf GTi
Seems I may be a bit late, as I just found out about this from another calligrapher! This looks great!
You got the "rusty car look" down perfect!
Thanks mate
Can you apply clear-cote over it, once it dries? Thanks for the video!
Once juiced, does the nib dry out quickly?
I tried using a small paintbrush, kinda ruined the chrome affect made it look dull, any ideas?
Picking one up to re finish my accents in my Old Saab 900.
I bought one. It works great great. Almost looks like real chrome.
Is it Ok for diecast cars as well or just plastic models?
Thanks for uploading this. I was just about to press the trigger on buying one then decided to see what youtube land has to say on these pens.
thanks mate. Glad i could help
Edition_six Scale Models Same here, just researching now for use on hydraulic rams and struts. This video really helps.

Thanks!!! I want to do a Acura emblem on my steering wheel. Do you suggest a 4mm or 2mm??
Smitty Sacks definitely 2mm

No problem...enjoy the build.
It's a '66/'67 Ford Fairlane body, most likely from one of the AMT kits. 😄👍🇺🇸
@@artvandelay0073 Thanks!
Is it permanent when it dries?
Is that a 2mill your using
How long does it take for it to dry? 🤔
thats what im aski’n too??
Nice vid mate. You think this chrome could be re-applied onto other pen-chromed pieces if they dull down?
not sure mate. will have to try it.
How many models can be done with one?
depends on how much you use it on each model but they do last for a few.
but what better to use for cars chrome?BMF or this pen?
i think it personal prefernce mate. I talk to many who like both.
Can u find this at Walmart??
not sure mate. You will have to check it out.
we do not have walmart here
scalemodelmania Okay. I'm hoping I can find it at Walmart. And I'm not British!
scalemodelmania or English I'm a native American!
cool mate. Let me know how you go with your search.
Found mine at Hobby Lobby....artprimo.com sells them too
I bought one , it don’t flow or come out of the tip,even if pressed several times, really poor to work with, you make it look like it was what I expected. What am I doing wrong ? It’s a piece of junk to use.
Just ordered one today.
me, too. Better late than ignorant. Buying Molotov marker after watching this video.
Is it permanent?
Turkey is very expensive molotow pen. Thanks nice video
aynen ama aldık yapacak bir şey yok
umarım vernik bozmaz boyayı yoksa tüm boya mahvolur
Spaz stick clear coat for chrome works better
Pity it’s not available outside America.
it seems ok....but does not seem a smooth finnish....bare metal foil gives a really smooth finnish...
yeah it take some practice but i have seen some great finishes with it lately at local car shows.
Just picked up my first chrome pen. I’ve known about them but just never got around to buying one.
Wow, I hate metal foil and this Beats the Ol’ silver sharpie hands down. Lmao. Thanks for sharing.

Limpem a peça e pintem de preto
thanks for this very helpful
Jeezzz, I got these at hobby lobby for $11. And actually it's not that great of a product.
So almost four minutes into the video you actually get to see the liquid chrome, wow
Chill Russell it's just liquid chrome
these pens SUCK! They dry out after 1 or 2 uses. I HATE them. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!
Graffiti marker review on a model car ... 👎🏽 searched reviews to see how they write ...
You sound dumb as shit boy, next time search better. ...and it's not a graffiti marker it has multiple uses.
