Found a great Gold Chrome spraypaint for idols and stuff

[patsmear]

I found this at a local art store. The girl promised good results and it delivers. This has to be the best gold paint I have come across. It is called Montana cans-Gold Chrome.

This company also does 180 other colors.

This is what the cans look like(and a link to buy online):

And here is a quick shot of my idol. I had a couple of finger prints that I have to sand out because I got a bit touchy after I painted it.I want to do a shot in the sun and see what that looks like.

Hmmm... let me know if your finger tips turn gold by touching it again in 2 weeks. :lol

Sounds promising! Let us know how long it take to fully dry!

[patsmear]

Dry already!

I would say it took about 4 hrs. to fully cure.


Gonna play with it more tomorrow. I have a bunch of those plastic Pirate coins.

That statue looks way cool, and the painting looks perfect for the prop. I'm assuming it was a resin cast. I'm kinda new around these parts, so don't know where one can get the Indy idol. Would you be willing to share your source?

 

[patsmear]

I got it as a gift.

I know that the "Haunted Studios" sells them. I think they have a site of the same name.

So does this paint take finger prints into it like every other gold spray paint? Does it stay shiny after touching it?

 

[patsmear]

After letting it dry completely, I have not added another fingerprint, and I have picked it up a few times.

Well then, this paint actually sounds very promising... I'll have to pick up a can and test it out, thanks!

 

[masteryoda]

Sounds a lot better than the Plastikote stuff. That NEVER cures and takes fingerprints every time you touch it. The fingerprints cannot be removed either.

 

[patsmear]

For $8 I am more than happy with it.

Sorry I haven't taken more pics, but we haven't had sun!:lol

hmm must see what other colors they have.
might have something for R2

heres my soon to be metal Idol

 

[Krel]

Nice idol, but from the color, it makes me think that you should give it a nice, heavy, semi-gloss black coating, and call it the Maltese Idol.

thats the casting wax with its jade color.(I wish it was a Jade Idol)..when its bronze I will be giving it some nice patinas.
hmmm maybe a Clear version would be nice with an under light?
