Excellent video. I enjoy your deep analysis of each paint color over different bases. Very informative. I have to run out and get some spoons to test the way you do before using. Thanks for sharing and stay safe and well Artie😊
I know Chinese and they said about the Silver is the more layer you put the more white silver you can get but not more shiny. I guess their translation is a bit off...LOL And X-22 they meant Enemal, not the arcylic one :D
I truly love your color testing with the spray paints and colors ..as for a clear coat..you might want to try pledge Revive it floor gloss it is truly excellent for a acrylic clear coat finish ..😊😊👍👍👍👍
I just checked out the website. Prices seem very fair, and free shipping over $ 28.00 is very nice. That's the good. Not knowing who or where I'm ordering from, or the time it will take to arrive makes me reluctant to place an order. There are some dead ends and bugs in the site too, especially in the tool section. I'm sure it's early days for them , but if you want to pass this on to Bella, it might help. Thanks for the excellent reviews
I got my stuff very fast. I asked her about the other paints on the site and she said it's on its way but cargo ship has been in customs awhile now. She knows what's coming thats why she has a coming banner on them. I believe her, my friend owns a hobby wholesale business and most Japanese Asian product is taking forever. His Bandai and Tamiya sections are empty, he's had product back ordered for 6 months
@@barbatosrex9473 If she is in the States she should mention that on the site; it is a marketing advantage. I totally understand about the shipping times due to COVID and the ramifications of that on supply chains. No worries, I'm sure I will try that paint at some point, sure looks good!
It amazes me how changing a undercoat will change the affect of a paint. I'm a little leery on any chinese products do to their lack of regulations and environmental impact it has ,but that's me.Great video BTW, would love to see some paints and such on panel lines and parts other than spoons.
Many types of test are planned. In the process of acquiring kits for test porpoises. I just got a bunch of car kits just for the bodies for upcoming test. It's a slow build up for sure. Thanks for watching
Ok, that was great! The paint colors are so good looking. On a side note... Are you going to show how you’re painting that model car with real automotive paint?! That sounds very cool!
I have used auto paint with 2K clear on 6 of my models. I use a car primer and clear. I found some spray cans that work well but buying a quart is much cheaper. Only is with a quart is I have enough paint for 25 model. I haven't found anyone in my area interested in it.
I find the Modo Super Black very resilient. What I mean is when I try different chrome paint on different black bases, the Modo Super Black retains its reflectiveness the best. If I put chrome over other black paint and compare them closely, the chrome reflection is not as sharp as the Modo Super Black base because it is just more resilient.
came after you said modo made a gold chrome cause i wanted to see if this is what you were talking about, and i was wondering, did the instructions mean do one light layer, let dry, then do another and let dry and it will get shinier?
Hey Rex! When are you gonna get around to testing the zero silver and gold metallic paints from these guys? I’m really looking into buying it, but can’t find any tests of it online. Thanks! I’m really excited to see if these guys’ metallics are competent and/or comparable to Alclad stuff, because I’m a metallic color fanatic like you, and they seem to have quite the selection of awesome colors.
great video as usual, the gold over light silver produced a "black gold" or antique gold finish. really liked the colors no matter what they went over, but totally get what you said about the results not matching with the actual instructions, maybe its a translation issue. would be interesting to see if the manufacturer has some more info/video that demonstrates what they mean in the instructions.
We rlly need pre thinned paints to be a norm now, people like me who can't use harsh chemicals would enjoy this, using mr color was a pain for the 1st time
Can you make a test with MODO MK04 Primer, Alclad ALC107 Chrome and MODO MK10?? In my opinion, the Alclad Chome is better/ shiny than the MK09. What do you mean?
@@barbatosrex9473 Thanks for the quick reply, been following your reviews. Im switching from acrylics to laquer for my kits. Do you feel if this better than Alclads or quite similar?
@@ecg5097 these here are similar but Alclad is mostly just metal colors where as Modo is a complete color line up. However I love Alclad and when I need a metal color I reach for Alclad.

@@barbatosrex9473 Looking forward to the review thanks! I was planning on using black base + chrome from alclad and covering it up with colored clears from tamiya. BTW, Can the clears from modo mix with alclad as base?
Bug color shift test is coming soon. I did test Turbo Dork paints a while ago and they're mostly color shifts. Look at my older videos for it. I do have a color shift video in the works including the all new Dspiae color shift paints
@@mazwansams9028 the Dspiae and E7 paints are my latest paints on my shelf. We are kind of the same, I have trouble getting paints from your area and you have troubles getting them from mine
Very different from the early stuff. The new lacquers of today blow away any other type of paint available. Give some a try you'll be very happy. Grab a jar of Mr Color, it's only about $2.50 and see what you think
I finally had enough of the crappy paint jobs I've been doing and got myself an Iwata airbrush. What brand paint do you recommend as one of the better ones when shot through your Iwata? Preferably something easily accessible in the US
OMG!!! I just shot some Createx Wicked Colors black with that Iwata Revolution that I got and I'm in love lol. That is the smoothest I have ever painted black in my entire life!
@@patrickcowgill7342 I just got a box of Wicked in. A bunch of colors. I'll be filming a video. Very nice paint. Be sure you put the additives they recommended to it. The 4013 and the 4030. They a must for painting on plastic.
@@patrickcowgill7342 it's an adhesion enhancer, it helps it stick to any surface as it's made for multiple surfaces. But it's a great paint. Once you learn alm the aspects of it. The pearls must be sprayed over black too so remember that. Great paint, it's bottled near me
I'm actually collecting them for the channel for testing. I get all kinds of requests for different types of paint to test so every time I shop for paint I pick up a few different brands in order to be prepared for the upcoming year of testing
Have you ever done any clear coat comparison video? see which are the easiest to scratch and peel off. I have been looking for the toughest coat for some time. On any project that will be handled I now use UV curing nail polish but I would like something I can spray on. The nail polish is hard but on metal it will still start to peel if you make a dent in it.
I'm currently planning a clear coat shoot out test. I'm going for two separate test. One airbrush and one spray can. Behind the scenes today I tested the absolute toughest clear coat ever, a 2K clear
@@chamoo232 The canned K2 clear that I have used can be used up to 2 days. What I do is paint two or three models and then do all the clear coating at once. There are a couple of K2 clear coats especially made for airbrushed that are great to use. Splash paints and Zero paints. They both give off a great shine and sometimes don't need buffing.
@@chipblock2854 The thing I'm looking at that seems to fit the best for the use I need is a kit of 2k clear coat that has 2 bottles. Part a and b to be mixed. It's sold at car parts retailer, is made to resist stones and work on plastic and metal. Also can be sprayed so that's probably the thing I will try to get in the future.
Please read the instructions again. It calls for an ENAMEL X22 clear! You've got the same results as using Aclad chrome without their Aqua Gloss... It separates the particles! For me, there is no beating the Molotov Chrome, which also needs to be glossed with an enamel!
Yes, I have 2 different styles. But I usually don't wear one for the videos so you can hear me over the booth fan and air compressor. Plus I spray these spoons 1 at a time. They only take about 45 seconds to cover. Then I stop the camera, clean the airbrush and prep the next paint which is almost a half hour.. When I paint a full kit I wear the respirator. I will show them in an upcoming video as I do recommend the brands I use
Thank you for your honest review!
Great video and excellent job!
Thank you. I love the paint. I'll be reviewing the rest of the line up very soon. I hope to generate many sales for you.
@@barbatosrex9473 Thank you again for your excellent work.

Robert, did you try the MODO gold over Alclad chrome? If so what happened? Learning so much in your videos.
I did it came out great
Those are some awesome looks. I like the gold variances. Thanks again bud!
I know Chinese and they said about the Silver is the more layer you put the more white silver you can get but not more shiny.

And X-22 they meant Enemal, not the arcylic one :D
Dang it! GAT-X105 won! Thanks for putting this together for the community! Now, I’ll go watch it too.
Haha, sorry bud! I’ll let you comment first next video!!! 😄
Has the Superchrome and gold kit been replaced? All I can find is the 3 pots which included T-230 Gold and not the MK-10 Gold as shown here?
I think Modo is done. Can't get it anywhere
@@barbatosrex9473 Is there any alternative you would suggest?
EEEEE!!!! I’m so excited to watch this Rex!!! Sorry I just had to comment now!!!!!
Looking forward to seeing the rest of the colors.
They look so great!!
Thanks Rex, i just ordered it from your link and a few other things...honestly i'm skeptical but i have to try it...the worst is we can mix and learn.
X-22 clear over chrome make it look like black chrome. Very impressive to see 3 bottles of paint do all those effects.
As other already mention x22 meant Enemal, They also have an clear top coat call W007 for the chrome.
the w007 would dull its reflection
Wow directions are very important learned that loading out the planes 😅😅😊

15 psi

The only chromes are you missing are the silver plating paint (the one you have to wahs with distiled water) and electric chrome plating
Wait x22a clear is enamel not acrylic? Im trying to find a top coat for the modo chrome. No luck with laquer top coats so far.
I got great results with E7 chrome sealer. Check out my video on clear coating Alclad Chrome
Can you use future/pledge floor treatment instead of the x-22 clear? I’ve seen Future used as a clear with good results.
Yes you can
