Action Figure Chromed Hot Toys T-800 Endo

[CREG Customs]

Hello all,

Here is a chromed Endo I am finishing up. This is the best chrome finish I have been able to achieve to date.

The clear coat (essential to the chrome) weakend the plastic pins in the fingers and the plastic around them and all the fingers broke off...

Anywho - have a t-700 on the way to harvest hands and frontal thigh shocks.

More coming soon!

Thanks for checking it out...

Alclad II Chrome for plastic.

Tricky to get right sometimes but really cool results when you do.

Do the teeth now have to be redone again? They seem chrome in the head pic.

 

[CREG Customs]

Yes and a touch of black in the nose. The teeth were pretty sloppy on this one anyway so I'll have them looking better than before.

Yep. They make an aerosol but you still need a high gloss black base coat. Not sure how good the can Alclad is though. Never tried it.

Wow looks great so far!

Thank you!

Is this the chrome paint that you have to paint everything black first?

Another alternative to harsh chemical reactions on plasitc I like to use is to flat black everything, gloss it with Future Shine, and then Chrome. The great thing about Future Shine is you can even seal the Chrome without altering the finish.

Alclad II does also make a gloss black to save yourself a step.

Hey Nathan,

The odd thing is I did a flat black Testors Akryl coat and then did a Tamiya clear then chrome - was a little dull so I then re-cleared with the aerosol version then the meltdown happened. Not sure what went on there... The stuff coats like glass but the interaction is not worth it.

Need to work with Futures a little more. Not too happy with the results I have had with it in the past.

What PSI do you spray it at?
