    This is exactly what I've been looking for, and exactly what Duplicolor should have made as a demo for their products! You clearly and concisely demonstrated the colors and their application, and allowed time to view each shade in the "real world" light of day. I would not be surprised if the sales of their products have increased substantially since this video was released (especially for the purple Metalcast!) I have used the Metalcast Red on my 2006 Mustang GT calipers, and the achieved look is just as stunning as you showed here in the video. Many thanks for this great content, I've subscribed to see what other great info you have to share!

    • @FordMercGuy
      @FordMercGuy  7 місяців тому +1

      Hi mate, depending on the primer I guess. Some primer is designed for priming previously (roughened sanded) painted areas, some primer for bare metal. Unfortunately I don't have a specific answer for previously painted Calipers re primer. But perhaps if you get a primer surfacer that's designed for previously painted areas. Or hope that sanded previous paint and new paint bond together well VS new primer sticking to the old sanded paint.

      I have used a duplicolour product that is a high temperature primer, So that could be an option that matches high temp properties of the main colour cans above.
      Otherwise typically yes plastic primer helps with adhesion. Clear coat can be extra UV protection for sure. Make sure the clear you use is enamel based to match the enamel paints these duplicolour Annodized range is.

      I think it was because I was painting the cardboard squares and the paint was soaking into the cardboard and drying matte. Painted gloss red caliper paint for example on calipers in the past they are glossy finish but clearcoat definitely makes them shine more and certainly long-lasting shine because the brake dust doesn't stick to the clear coat as easily as it does stick.to the colour base coat only. Brake calipers that don't have to go on top overtime colorcote looks a bit more dull Faded

      Metalcast is a durable enamel finish that is oil, gas, and heat resistant up to 500°F intermittently as per online search. So You could use a high temperature enamel clear to help protect the finish mate

      Correct. You may almost struggle to get much colour showing ontop as these are a very light colour coat. Which would show up over a light/chrome base.. A darker base you'd struggle to have much colour showing up ontop. Worth a test though on a test peice.

      Ah I'm with you now. It should work. These colour costs are designed for chrome, otherwise the metallic base coat gives dark colours the light silver/metallic needed to give the translucency through the base coat colour. Your silver aluminium base you can test.. Spray a little of your Annodized colour spray in the lid.. And brush on and see how it results
