The two part epoxy seems be the best under coat and over coat for the mirror finishes. I caught a small Wahoo last week on one of my lures. No damage to the lure.
Looking over all mirror rattle can vids for project. Al , most must say wow as I do , your crankbait made me forget why i was here . Good luck always .
Thank you for your kind words.
Thanks for the encouragement!
I've been using this product to fix up the reflective surface inside a headlight assembly. The mirror surface on these factory parts, is done differently.
It is done similar to powdercoating with cooking the part. The mirror surface is very delicate and easily damaged. I accidently touched one of those
surfaces and the fingerprint damage the surface. In attempting to wipe clean the fingerprint. All the chrome came off with the cloth.
The spray chrome puts down a usable surface. But not anything like the factory mirror effect. The only other thing I can say about using the product.
It's is a little more durable than other methods. I bought another product that required an air brush to apply. It did not work nearly as well.
Very disappointing in fact. Nothing like they advertise. These rattle can products seem to work the best.
The mirror finishes are very interesting but are certainly more difficult to use.
I've used the Rustoleum product and I had to replace the spray tip with a tip from a different rattle can. The original tip did not atomize the paint
very well and it came out too heavy. This caused runs. I'm still not getting the mirror effect I want to see. You have to be careful what you use
with this paint. I attempted to use a poly clear over the paint. But it did not improve the shine. When I went back over the poly clear. The
finish began to orange peel.
I had the same problem.
Well done, as always, Allan. Have you tried any of the other "chrome" paints that Franco tried on his Engineered Angller channel? Frankly, I decided some time ago to stick with the aluminum tape (pun intended). It's simple, reliable, and completely free of noxious fumes. That said, I appreciate your sharing this experiment with us. Chris (Maine, USA)
I totally agree with you Chris. The aluminum foil is more controllable and I can use it inside my house. No toxic issues. The aluminum does get some krinkles in it but you can usually hide them on the back. The belly krinkles are tougher to hide. I saw a Budd's Baits video a few days ago where he showed how to use a two part clear coat on his lures then sanded the aluminum edges flush. He used Carvello CC2 Clear Coat! Very interesting! I have not tried any other chrome paints.
Hi, again, Allan. Thanks for your follow-up. In a remarkable stroke of irony, I have been trying to figure out the best means to tell you about my friend Greg Budd's method for creating gill plates on his extraordinary jerk baits! Have you seen it in his videos?
I started to watch Budd's videos about 2 weeks ago. I spotted the gill plates and side fins immediately but I could not find the video where he discussed how to make them. I was looking for Conquistador Part 2 but couldn't find it so I went to Part 3 and found the details. I have a few lures to finish off then I am going to make some stick baits using his gill method.
@@allandoell1025 Greg and I got to know each other through that Conquistador series. He is not only an extraordinarily talented lure designer and builder, but also a very fine human being. I'm in the process of coaxing him to do more videos; hope I eventually succeed!
I have encountered just one other lure-maker who uses the gill-plate application technique. He is Paul Adams, a Brit who used to post terrific videos on his channel "The Handmade Fisherman." (Now he only does cell-phone "shorts." ) If you go to minute 5:25 int Part 2 of Paul’s “build a crankbait series," he describes and demonstrates making gill plates out of foil instead of carving them.
