It is extremely important to heat treat the paint in a dehydrator or oven for a few hours above 170f. This causes the paint to become more mirror like and more durable.
I'd absolutely LOVE to see a video showing your painting technique when it comes to the varnish and food coloring over the chrome. I literally have a King Tut statue on the table that I've had to re-do 3 times already because I cannot figure out how to paint it evenly enough to be happy with. It pools in many places, then some its lighter in, and don't get me started on the places that i had to mask off. Im guessing the varnish somehow leaked thru the tape and caused it's glue to seep out onto parts I'm painting with the varnish 🤦🏽 With a nice clean, smooth onject im sure my painting would come out great, but with this type of surface that has alot of cracks and crevices, it's not working out so well for me 😔
And I also wondered if you've ever tried the Spaz Stix Gold Chrome airbrush spray, and if it would be easier to try that process, and what the results might look like if i did

Still waiting on this, Gordon!

Was wondering g if you would. Hopefully you tint it!
So far so good!🎉
Has Gordon done a video on his print orientation, supports and setting for these helmets?
These aren't printed but I'll be printing some soon and I'll be sure to cover it.
