Is anyone here set up to do Fantachrome?

[Anakin Starkiller]

Hi guys,

I have a couple small resin parts that I would like painted with the Fantachrome system and I was wondering if anyone here was set up to do this.

Thanks

Ditto. I'd really like to see how well this stuff works. I just may invest in the system if it works as well as they say.

I think that is the same stuff as "Cosmic Chrome"

Many of us comic statue collectors have been sending stuff here....

It started out $75, but they had to up it as they turned out to be a little more work then they thought. I got in early, it is $100 now.

They have been masking the eyes to preserve that part of the original paint job, as they are painted white with black outline. So there is some detail work to contend with is my guess.

Here is the thread with a ton of pictures, and some other statues they have done for forum members.....

Sweet *****, I just contacted Fantachrome to see what the set up costs, and it's nearly $17,000! If I had a professional painting business, I'd invest in it, but even if everyone on the board wanted several item chromed it still wouldn't pay off the cost.
