Thank you for the comparo. ?s; In your opinion, after sufficient curing, which product offers the best durability to 'touch'. What is your current retail $ for each product.
@joshwinkleman6763 if you use a clear coat, it will take away the shine/reflection. But these paints are only meant for static models, so it won't hold up with outside elements.
I spray coated Revell Chrome as it's very sensitive to touching becoming dull, even after weeks of drying. The only varnishes which didn't affect the surface were sprays on acrylic base and one which is used for cars.
@craigcraigster5605 indeed, revells chrome quality here is excellent tho I'm not sure if the quality justifies the price tag. Revell chrome sells for $40.99 CAD. Alclads spray is $22.49. Nearly fouble the cost
🏆 Revell is a better Chrome and looks nicer. The second one would make a good aluminum look, that's it. However, I think they both could have look better If you had a better spray technique. The way you spray it on there is terrible. I'm not trying to be mean, but if you actually sprayed it from one side to the other, instead of spotting it, it would have came out a lot better. Thank you for the test.
@oldmodeler7747 this is a demo so people who are hesitant will know what to pick! And it's free too! You can't really try both in person without buying them first
Too bad you cant use a spraycan.
Thank you for the comparo.

@user-wj6zo3nf1s With a primer underneath, Alclad is tougher and it costs $22.49, whereas Revell is $39.99
I’m planning on using this on plastic for a scooter. Do I need a overcoat to protect it or is it fine the way it is?

Technically to get the best results; especially with ALCLAD; it should be sprayed over flat black.
You mean gloss.....
Next test should be which clear coat protects the chrome finish and still stays chrome.
@@dmgscalemodels2825 great idea!
For me Lacquer paints always win in everything. However, it is the fume that gets me. If you have better setup/ventilation always go for Lacquer imo.
💯 we never recommend using lacquers if you live in an enclosed space!
Revell is a better chrome. A price comparison would have been good.

@daved2143 fair assessment. It was just meant to be an impromptu test of the products! Just a light dusting for first impressions!
To me, it looks like it is in the effect you're trying to achieve. As to which is better. Both look good. I am neutral on this.
@@charlesbecker9617 both are quite good! Can't really go wrong!
I dont know who taught you to sprapp paint! yikes but reveell wins.
Read the label,learn how to spray

Unnecessary commeny

@shannonjakepowell305 it's a simple demo vid. No need to be toxic. We aren't trying to show off epic spray painting skills in a demo vid
