First off. Thanks again for review. I have quite a few Splash paints. I love them. I use the champagne, aluminum and steel mostly. Also, looking at those Vallejo colors I’m definitely looking forward to seeing that review. Keep them coming. My wife was just saying she doesn’t like you. Your costing her money😂😂 because I keep buying more paint.
@@bigchef2112 you sound like me. Never drank or smoked. I was big on buying CDs. I love music especially metal and at one point I had over 10,000 CDs. But the days of CDs are long gone so now it's kits and paint
Darn, I thought they were gonna be similar to Alclads, especially when you were spraying them - they looked so glossy and beautiful - they undoubtedly are not bad at all, in fact the gold colors are awesome! Just not as I hoped. I have one of their 'chameleon colors', and I love it so darn much, so I just can't wait to see the other colors you have ready for review! Awesome video, thanks again for all the plentiful information you give us on a semi-daily basis!
I realized after consulting the company that all of their paints need a top coat, be it Gloss or matte, they must be coated. I have a big box of their car colors coming in this week so I'll be testing those out soon with their 2K Gloss coat too
Though I haven't used any of the Splash Paints metalizers, I have used four of their auto color paints and really like them. I have building model cars for over 40 years and I just started using an airbrush. I love how Splash Paints flow on so easily. I believe you have to clear coat other popular paints from various companies. Great video. Keep them coming. Will you try using fingernail polish. I have heard if they are thinned properly they are a great item to paint with. And their are some wicked colors. The ones with metal flake seem to be more in scale.
I just got in a big box of Splash. Also planning on a nail polish test too. I just did a test run of actual auto paint on a model and the results are incredible. Video soon
The titanium is for sure supposed to go with black. It’s the only spoon that looks like how it’s supposed to. Titanium has a darker hint of block in it.
I see you're looking at Wicked Colors, by Createx. I've had really good luck with their two Auto-Air Quicksilver Chrome colors. Over a nice gloss black and then a quick rub after and they're some of the best water based I've used. Only two colors in the range, though.
Sorry this is incredibly off topic... In an earlier video you had some amazing music playing while you showcased your friends gundam store. After some internet sleuthing I discovered the artist was Andy James, a British musician. Not since John Petrucci have I been so inspired by a guitarist! I really want to thank you for introducing me to him, his stuff will be awesome to paint to.
I love Andy James. Also check out Paul Wardington and Fraser Edwards. I'm a huge fan of metal, progressive and power are my tops. Look up those guys you'll like them too
wow thanks for sharing although in got dizzy and frustrated at times i would have watched a full hour vid but loved it anyhoo replay replay replay scooter out
I tend to work too fast. Trying to ow things down. I'm getting better. It really is learn as I go along with changing my habits. Thanks for watching. I just got in a case of Splash Auto Colors and clear coats so I'll be testing those soon too.
How do I know if the splash paints needs 2 bottles of paint? I found some colors I want on the website but i can not tell if it needs that 2 bottle applying. The 2 step paint
Do splash paints need a special primer to be applied to the model before. Such as their own primer or can I use other brand primer with splash paint? @barbatos Rex
These didn't look terrible...I was just hoping for better considering their price point. Did you ever end up testing the other colors from Splash? Thanks for the video!
Black base primer, usually Gloss black when you want a shiny result like chrome or polished aluminum. A Matt black primer base will give you a dull finish
I just ordered about 5 colors and the white surfacer/primer from Splash ,I am hopeful that they will work good for the price and the fact that they do not need thinned ,what did you think of the colors ?
I happen to have a large order of Splash Auto Color paints coming in this week. I like what I've seen from a friend's model work. I will be testing them for a video soon. Keep in mind that they all need to be cleared, either gloss or matte, but they must be cleared
@@barbatosrex9473 yeah I always clear my kits anyways but I only ordered the mecha color line so I'm thinking that they will be very flat to start with lol should look good with a semi gloss though
You might have figured it out by now but Splash recommends a black base for all their metalizer colors to get the intended effect and they MUST be cleared. The following instructions are ripped straight from their website: Apply thin layers over BLACK primer/base. 2K Primers or Solvent primers are recommended prior to application. Use SPM-012 Semi-gloss black or SP-028 Beluga black OR 2K Black primer for best results. Flash off 2-3 minutes between coats. AVOID SPRAY WET COATS 25-30 PSI IS RECOMMENDED. THIS PRODUCT MUST BE CLEAR COATED. WITHOUT GLOSS CLEAR COAT, THE COLOR MAY APPEAR DIFFERENTLY Cheers, and thanks for making this review!
Yes I realized it when I was done spraying them. Because they are labeled "Metalizer" I thought they were meant to look like my other Metalizer paints such as Alclad and AK Xtreme, a dull metal like look. But it's not the case with Splash, all there pants must be coated afterwards. That's what I'll do for sure when I test their auto colors.
Wow!!! That's out of my price range. Well they're not too cheap here now that I think about it. Around $8 each but I got most of these on sale for $5. I'll be testing the auto colors soon, I hope they're good. I got a bunch them
@@barbatosrex9473 I got the auto air and wicked paints also I like the auto air line because alot thinner than wicked.For my metals I like ak extreme metal more durable than alclad
@@JohnPol I do have another brands metal color paints. MRP, and I'll be testing them this week. I love their regular paint line up so I have high hopes for that test.
@@JohnPol Don't buy Splash Paints from Spain, they are produced in Oregon here in the USA. In fact, there are now some Canadian sellers: facebook.com/Splashpaintsllc/posts/1024321918005836?__tn__=-R
All splash moralized paints are required to go over super gloss black coat. Then topped with their 2k gloss clear. All of them. So all the ones your showing mean nothing.
Thanks for sharing your examples Mr. Barbatos. They are very helpful...
I just got a batch of Splash Auto Colors and I will be testing those out too. Real nice colors too

Tell her I apologize but warn her there's more to come

Cool test
How do I know if the splash paints needs 2 bottles of paint? I found some colors I want on the website but i can not tell if it needs that 2 bottle applying. The 2 step paint
Please do the full line of the splash auto colors. In a video
It's coming very soon
As someone who mostly paints wargames models, I can't wait to find out how you got the vallejo paints to work
What issues are you having? I might be able to help
All over primer unless it's a base specific RC...and yes they all require a 2k clear
You are correct my man. I always try straight plastic cause I know many people that don't prime. MRP test this week
Do splash paints need a special primer to be applied to the model before. Such as their own primer or can I use other brand primer with splash paint? @barbatos Rex
Splash does say to use a primer. You can use any primer but I would use a lacquer primer.
These didn't look terrible...I was just hoping for better considering their price point. Did you ever end up testing the other colors from Splash? Thanks for the video!
A full Splash test is coming 😀
When they say “Apply to black base.”, do they mean Paint, Primer or either?
Black base primer, usually Gloss black when you want a shiny result like chrome or polished aluminum. A Matt black primer base will give you a dull finish
thanks for these videos!
Thanks for watching, I have many more to come.
