Testing 6 Different Alclad Metal Colors

After testing Alclad's Chrome paints I wanted to test several different metals from their line up. It sprays as good as their Chrome, meaning it practically sprays itself. I love this stuff and you should invest in some for your models, you wont be disappointed .

If not, would adding clear yellow over alclad titanium gold make it more like polished brass? Since these options are currently unavailable: alclad polished brass (discontinued), krylon metallic foil gold (out of stock), and modo mk-10 (out of stock)

@@barbatosrex9473 is the alclad clear coat safe to apply on pale gold? And is alclad clear coat enamel or acrylic based?

[@erc3338]

Aluninum isn't the worst pronunciation I've heard. I've heard Aluminuminum.

[@jerryperkins235]

fyi with those metalizers you cannot keep spraying, the more you put on the duller the finish cover it and stop!!!!!

[@barbatosrex9473]

I think your trying to tell me to do much lighter coats?? I do tend to have a heavy hand but I'll be going lighter here on in...Thanks

[@alexgarza4513]

Lol yeah that makes sense. I tried the polished brass and i got a horribly dull finish. But i had sprayed like 3 heavy ass coats

alunimum

[@FozzyinFlorida]

I love your channel, but I have to give you some constructive feedback. it's painful to hear you struggle with the word aluminum. "Aloo-na-mum" is how you repeatedly say it and it makes you sound like a third grader. For someone who reviews colors and has to say that word a lot you should consider practicing the correct way to enunciate "Aloo - mi - num" That's it, everything else on your content is awesome! Thank you for your hard work.

[@thatoneguy.-]

Great comparison and review. Constructive feedback: I thought I was having a stroke every time you mispronounced and said “Alunimum”. Made it hard to watch and finish the video. Also, you repeat yourself a lot a repeatedly use filler phrases which also makes it hard to watch a long video.

[@joepacheco7979]

Sorry man, you show things too fast. You show things for only a second up close. We can't analyze. Might as well be radio. Handheld... no.

[@naroon5455]

Please. If you're gonna say a color 50 times in a video, please pronounce it properly. Literally my only negative feedback. Good job otherwise.

[@chives6423]

I assume you mean aluminum? In which case he is pronouncing it properly - the pronunciation varies by country and region, especially in the US.

[@naroon5455]

@@chives6423 No. He's mixing up the M and N the way children do. There is "Aluminium" and "Aluminum", not "Alunimum" If im wrong, please feel free to show me any language that pronounces it "Alunimum" It's a small thing, but i seriously can't handle hearing it more than 20 times before i have to stop it

Can you paint these on with a paintbrush instead of air brushing?
