Testing A-Stand Metal Colors by Ammo - Every Color Shown !! Alclad Replacement?

[@antithesisjones765]

Let’s see…it’s Saturday night and I can either watch Svenghouli or Robert test a new metal paint line. Robert wins hands down! 🥇This looks like a magnificent paint line. I’m definitely going to want to try a couple. 👍

[@barbatosrex9473]

Great colors here to choose from for sure. Some of these are awesome

[@fonarte]

I think you got the semi matte aluminum and the high speed silver mixed up. The high speed silver when you painted it looked more like the semi matte aluminum (33:43) at the end. (Compare that to 15:31) The tone is darker.

[@michealknight6003]

I haven't seen you use the waterfall-type spray booths for a while now. I am seriously considering getting one, but since I haven't seen you use them, I'm currently on the fence. Could you please do an updated video on those types of waterfall spray booths, covering any pros and cons in hindsight?

[@lylebriggs923]

I appreciate all the time you put into the videos you make for us thank you

Love that Gold Titanium. Great video.

Awesome color 👍

Hi everybody. I hope all of you are having a good day.

[@markwakeley3835]

Great testing. Amazing results. I hear Ammo was coming out with acrylic railroad colors. Maybe you could test those for us. Thanks

[@barbatosrex9473]

I will. I already have their new acrylic auto line up

[@SEstee_Mustang]

The Jet Exhaust might be a cool cool on a hot rod! I like that one. Great video

[@jamfjord]

24:00 that's a great 'brushed steel' finish to my eye, that stainless steel really is two in one. Thanks for this rundown, I'll be picking these up 👍

[@lastshadow9351]

Nice! That's a great line of metals and probably more than half of the line, I could see using. All of them look color accurate, which is impressive. I'll have to be careful not to splurge and will just try to get the ones that I actually need for things and slowly build up stock. Great review!

[@felineki]

Nice to see that these seem to be as good as the original Alclads. Thanks for taking the time to review them all!

[@dragoonzen]

that jet exhaust looks incredible!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Great color

[@hardtoonz]

Another great video. Are they just rebottled Alcad2 ? Would like to know the durability, for handling/posing gunpla frames. Many thanks 👍

[@Avalanche523]

Another awesome video, much appreciated. Your videos save your viewers so much time and work, thanks.

[@slowdadox4762]

Funny that there was a problem with the polished brass but it really had the best finish of all the companies. Bought up a couple of bottles before they were going to disappear

[@artycharr]

27:00 Was genuinely gonna ask which gundam that was top left ...

[@poppafiveone]

I like the engine exhaust and the copper is one of the best copper tones I've seen.

[@barbatosrex9473]

It's a beautiful color

[@logawnio]

that white aluminium looks perfect for aluminium wheels. my old car had wheels that were that exact color.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Perfect color for that

[@millar876]

The magnesium is my go to for MG inner frame colour. Love this line.

[@kentschachowskoj3403]

Great video as always Robert. Appreciate the effort you go through to provide a thorough test of these products. I noticed a comment from someone about exporting your 2K products to the UK. As an FYI, I contacted Gundam Pros about shipping to where I live in Canada and they said it was cost prohibitive. Please let us know if you ever manage to find someone to distribute or ship here north of the border and I am sure there will be a lineup of customers for your paints.

[@andresu83]

Very nice line! Quiet a time to make this video. Appreciate all the work and time you invest in this videos!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you my friend, much appreciated

[@mikeellis5347]

Liked them all, but my favorite was the gunmetal on the plack plastic. You could really see the blue in with the black. Will have to invest in this color and then fine a car model to use it on. Thanks BR.

[@arby796]

Very nice test, we all appreciate the dedication you have for your fan base.

[@christiangruening352]

I love them. Only issue I have is appliance via brush. Did you forget the Candy lacquers from the A-Stand line?

[@pspadotto]

Not sure if you noticed but the high speed silver and semi-matte aluminium labels got swapped while filming. That's why the semi matte aluminium looked so much like the dull aluminium on the bench.

[@paulcolterman3087]

Paul from NB Canada. Thanks again for the great reviews! I can't get over how many shades of Aluminum there are. Lol

[@chaley2935]

Another nice video though I will have to make do with my Jumpwinds for now. I am interested however in seeing what your opinion on their transparent/candy paints when you get to them.

[@Octopootie1]

High speed silver is most likely attempting to replicate aluminum lacquer paints and treatments used primarily on aircraft mostly in the 40's and 50's. So basically what it is, metallic paint that doesn't look like bare metal. A great example of that is the wings of a P-51 which were painted with aluminum paint to match the bare metal fuselage

[@dfsfdsfsdfsdfsadsdfsfdsdsf3587]

These colors are fire. Can't wait to try them with various clears. Thanks for the video

[@aljensen7779]

Watching these vids makes me wish I had a hobby where I could make use of many of the paints you review. As it is, my hobby is RC and bright, opaque colours are the norm, then metallic and then high sheen. But how long would a bottle of polished brass sit on the shelf? A long time, before I'd need a drop or two. So why do I watch? I'm fascinated by the colour 'tech'. It's amazing what they can do with water-based paints to give them such specific variations. Thanks for what you do, Robert. I hope you get up to a 100K subs to help lighten the cost on you.

[@DaneSaysStuff]

Looks like a good option for those who like pre-thinned paints.

[@kimhery8354]

Great video ordered some colors also you. Amuse straight out of the bottle correct no thinner needed

[@vanthdreadstar8039]

I had some glass paint jars from Michaels and I put a hematite bead in for shaking but it broke the glass so I stopped using them. I was hand shaking (no machine) and it happened a few years ago, but thought I should mention that happened to me when using them. Could have been a bad jar, or I was shaking too hard, as I've seen you using them for a while without any issues. Just an FYI.

Better just to buy bags of stainless steel mixing balls.

As much as I know about paint, I've never made my own let alone clear. Maybe someone here can respond to your question

[@datpaul2259]

Amazing video I have some A-stand on my shelfs they are good paints just keep having issues with their primers especially gloss black other brands are hard to get here only Mr color and Tamiya. any chance you could review their primers especially the gloss black? keep up the great work!

[@jimbimanim]

been using these since alclad's uk branch lost the alclad trademark. they went by "hr hobbies" for a while but that brand seems to have disappeared in favour of mig a-stand (the a-stand bottles still say "manufactured by hr hobbies" though). i've used the last of an alclad bottle and a some of one of these on the same kit with a couple of different colours and they are literally identical. i think there's a couple of exceptions though, like the old alclad polished brass used to be a lot more mirrorlike iirc, more similar to their chrome (you did mention alclad discontinued it due to a formula issue though, so i guess it's a different formula altogether now). i have also heard their clear candy colours are lacquer now instead of enamel? i haven't tried them myself but i've had someone tell me they fucked up one of their builds because the a-stand candy red was a different shade of red to the old alclad, and it fucked up his chrome. not a fan of how you only get 30ml of the primers for the same price they used to do 60ml for either... but all that aside they're still my go-to metallics

[@Kal-el23]

What about polished brass?

[@barbatosrex9473]

What about it? It was shown in the video, did you see it?

[@Kal-el23]

@@barbatosrex9473 You're right, sorry. I must have missed it. I saw a past video where you did Alclad II's Polished Brass and it was much much shiner. Do you think this one is completely different? I'm looking more for that 'kind of over chrome' look but just slightly duller.

[@barbatosrex9473]

it was pulled from the market because a of a certain chemical used in it and it never came back under the Alclad name. This one here is the first time back on the market. You might have to go to a candy gold to get what you want

Good video. Are they rebottled alclad or a new formula? I have all alclad metal colors so would it be overkill to buy these if they are the same.

[@barbatosrex9473]

It's probably the same but the Polished brass is here and that one was dropped from the Alclad line because of troubles with the formula

[@michelbartholomeeussen9418]

[@JHartModelworks]

The clears are already yellow in the bottle. That doesn't bode well. All these names are the exact alclad names. If i remember correctly, MIG and alclad had a thing together at one point. I'm pretty sure these are just rebottled alclad.

Hello! I started following you on KZbin and would love to know your thoughts on a recommendation. If I have a budget of a few hundred dollars, could you recommend an airbrush kit that would also include the compressor (I don't have anything yet). The main use of the airbrush would be for cosplay. I recently started a prop cosplay KZbin (renegade props) and would love to move pass rattle cans!

I wasn't sure what they meant by 1 medium layer as I've never heard that before. I contacted the distributer I got them from and asked what they mean by it.
