Testing Mr. Color Super Metallics - Excellent Inexpensive Paints !!

For this video I test Mr Color's Super Metallic line up.While only one of these is a true metalizer paint, the regular metallic paints here are great. I would add these great paints to your work bench without hesitation .

[@Sarnican]

I ordered super metallic 2 titanium silver and gold 2 for a project I'm doing. Went on perfectly and made my amateur painting skills look like a professional. These paints are incredible. Thank you for all the amazing information!

[@domislegit1]

thank god, been waiting for a review like this!! i have most of these but havent actually really airbrushed a lot, so its nice to see what i can expect.

[@kimijonghighball9626]

Great information on these paints. 👍🏼 Nice job!

[@barbatosrex9473]

These are awesome paints, every model builder should have them in their inventory

[@dragoonzen]

Sweet colors results.

As always nice video. I might have missed that but Is there any chance to have a comparison between the spoons with Alclad Metal and Mr. Color Super Metallics?

[@brandonwhite2384]

Great video

Glad you enjoyed it

[@katherines6322]

What is the purpose of the dark blue primer? You said it's from another video but I had trouble figuring out which video you were referring to.

[@paulhorneschillings1212]

Can you apply clear colors on top of a glosscoat?

[@bigchef2112]

Excellent review. I too wanted to try these and see if they brushed on white model master metallizer‘s. That’s the main problem I have with the Metalizer line going out is not having a good replacement for metal paint for hand brushing. Although you have shown plenty of paints through the airbrush I would like to see the brushed on ability of these paints.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Great advice, I will test these brush painted in a video 👍

[@fonarte]

I don't know if these are like the Mr metal color line ,but those don't need to be thinned and are intended to be buffed to reveal the true look.

[@gat-x105strikegundam5]

Another awesome video! I had gotten some of these paints when I was a novice, and I knew nothing about thinning correctly. I hated them because I thought there was something wrong with the paints, (it was the fact that I was thinning them like 1 part paint to 1/4 part thinner..) however it’s nice to know it was indeed my fault for being so uneducated about thinning... About the chrome silver, when you were spraying it, it went on perfectly to me, but you kept on spraying and spraying and adding layers upon layers, I know you do that for testing/buffing purposes, but it seems that around the second coat it was a perfect bright chrome! I was wondering of you could show that chrome silver, but coated on twice or something sometime. Other than that, awesome video!! I’ve just finished my mg freedom custom paint job, I wish I could show you!

[@barbatosrex9473]

I'd love to see your work. You should set up a Imgur account and post your pics there, then put the link here in the comments

[@AizatMazlan]

When you gonna do the mr.metal round up?

[@MzfrVictorious]

They are even better when you buff the paint with a soft cloth.

[@marilyngalit531]

I'm wondering, have you seen the other colors of this range? I don't know why, but Super Iron, Super Chrome Silver, and Super Duralumin seems to look so similar to each other in the photos in Google. Even the two metal colors you featured seems to be so similar (unless I stand right there in person, I guess)

[@gmoney1664]

Very informative, as always! Would love to see you review the Mr Metal Color set. I've dabbled with them and they buff up brilliantly, but suppose the question I'd like to see answered is whether there's other paints that end up with the same finish, but don't need buffing

[@barbatosrex9473]

There's a few that don't need polishing. They're made by Model Master. I did a video on them. Model Master Metalizer

[@gmoney1664]

@@barbatosrex9473 ah, brilliant, will have a look at that. Thank you!

[@danzo5521]

whats your buffing process?

[@gmoney1664]

@@danzo5521 I used a cotton bud, or q-tip. You'll see the colour build up on it, when that happens I then rotate it and use a different side/part. Depending on how buffed you want it you can go over it again, but be wary not to scratch it

[@danzo5521]

@@gmoney1664 thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I've been using a microfibre cloth and haven't gotten great results yet. I'll definitely try the q-tip, thanks!!

[@boonyah1]

Have u try mr.hobby copper no.10?

[@earltowson4589]

You should retest these using Mr. Color Rapid Thinner. Thin 2.5-3 parts thinner to 1 part paint, spray over gloss black the exact same way you do with Alclad. The SM205 and 206 especially.

[@barbatosrex9473]

I have rapid thinner, I will try this tomorrow for sure. Thank you for that tip

[@neolabcustoms]

It's so hard to tell, but so these have a small (fine) flake to it? Looking for golds and silvers that are super smooth, not glittery...

[@barbatosrex9473]

These are pretty smooth. Also check out my recent video test of A-Stand Metal Colors, that might be what your looking for

[@bloodhound122]

Where you shopping for paints those are good prices.

[@Azizi11kuro]

Hi, I wonder if these can be use for panel lining?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Technically anything can be used for panel lining as long as you thin it enough

[@casuallycompetitivecwiss9321]

How does Mr Color's gloss topcoat affect these? Great video! Making me wanna go out and pick this up for thrusters

[@barbatosrex9473]

It will look like the ones here I painted with the Vallejo Gloss just more durable

[@TJFNixon]

Thanks for all your videos. I have watched 50 odd and have lots more saved to watch. I can’t see any of you making or painting any models? How come?

[@barbatosrex9473]

I was planning on building many kits here and on my own but the paint test and other test have become full time to go along with my day job. When I hit 100K and will shift more time to the channel

[@TJFNixon]

@@barbatosrex9473 the testing you do is very useful. I look forward to seeing some kits being built. With so many paints, I’m intrigued as to which ones you’ll use. 👍🏻

[@calvin14888]

What's the ratio of thinner you're using for the SM Gold and SM Iron?

[@barbatosrex9473]

at least 50/50

[@thedorklylionchannel415]

Being a metalliser, do I need to buff the surfaces back like mr metal color?

[@barbatosrex9473]

It depends on the color used. The front of the label will say "Buffing" or "Non Buffing" signifying which one needs to be buffed

[@laszloharsanyi8320]

Great informative test, thank you! Only one question: you mentioned that you thinned the super metallic paints "just like other lacquers" - how much does it mean? 1:1, 2:3 paint/thinner, or even more?

[@barbatosrex9473]

A minimum of 50/50 with lacquers. Even more wouldn't hurt

hi! so this paint es 1:1 with thinner? sorry for ask i cant understand that point

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yes

[@vmoney9106]

I’ve recently switched from AK Xtreme Metal paints to the Super Metallics (SM 201 and 206) mostly because I didn’t want to deal with enamel paints (I have enamel weathering products that I want to use directly on the Paint) and I’m very impressed with them, especially the durability. I usually thin SM 206 50-60% with Mr Hobby Rapid Thinner (the suggested thinner) and spray in light coats over GX2, although light coats are not necessary to get a nice finish.

[@barbatosrex9473]

Mr Color is my go to brand. I love the stuff. Great choice 👍

[@benjaminli7120]

Can the metallic paints be coated with protective layer of acrylic clear coat?

[@OdwallaJuice]

From Mr.Color's website: "To seal the paint finish, coat use Super Clear or Mr.Super Clear UV Cut (excluding SM206 and SM08)... In the case of SM206 and SM08, clear paint cannot be applied over the painted surface, as it dulls the color of the paint surface."

They are all metalizers. You just put way too heavy of a coat on the spoons

[@barbatosrex9473]

Yeah I admit I'm a bit heavy handed, I've been trying to go lighter with my coats. You are correct

[@kyllerkill]

You always paint way too much. Metals should have the smallest coat possible. putting down very small amounts per pass. You put way too much paint down per spoon to get a real look on how these paints actually look

I'll go lightly from here on out. Thanks
