Thanks for the tutorials Chris. Its so cool of you to spend the time to come on here and show people how to get amazing results for wicked cheap. And you give away these secrets for free. Your a good man and a great craftsman and artist. You have helped me so much. We make these models and solder in motors and wheels and then drag race them on 80 foot slot car tracks. But we want the rest of the models to look cool.. Thats where you come in. I've been able to get great results following your techniques. Thanks again to take the time to help us slot car drag racers out. If you're ever in Vegas come visit Silver State Slot Cars bro.
Hello Chris. I have been watching your acrylic and floor polish videos for a while. Gave it a try and it came out awesome. Rubbed it out and it is perfect. Thanks for the awesome videos. Gary O.
Excellent video brother! The finish came out great. These videos will be a great help to those wanting to try this out and will help cut some of the learning curve out of it. Well done my friend!
Nice work man. I'm an airplane guy, but was looking for some videos on spraying craft paints and came across this. Nice explanations, and I dig the fact that you try to preach the money saving tips to folks. Im always stressing the same to my followers as well. Makes zero sense spending money that doesn't need to be spent. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
Hey, thanks fire stopping by. The contents are much appreciated. turns out I like planes as well. I have a few vis on a couple I have done. I think you'll get quite the chuckle at my first plane build. Didn't go over to smoothly lol. Thanks again bud.
+Chris Chapman We all learn now stuff as we go. I'd love to try my hand at automotive work sometime soon. I've always though craft paints would be awesome simply because there's such a crazy line of colors available. Quick question, you're talking here about moving from novus to 3M Polish. Is there a single item that they carry or is there like a two part set kind of like novus?
+Fox thre3 custom models I actually use Maguire 's ultimate polish. cheaper and works great. The novice for 2 ounces cost as much as an 18 ounce bottle. I get the same results.
+Chris Chapman so you're essentially only using one product now, or the maguire Polish and then the yellow wax? Obviously, if you can achieve great results without having to apply two two part products like novus, that helps tremendously.
+Fox thre3 custom models I do use the Dame yellow wax for final shine as well. If a person needs to use something as song as novus 3 or an abrasive that strong they need to spend more time cleaning the parts or cleaning the painting area lol. Just a light swirl remover then WV should be all that is needed.
Chris Chapman Thank you very much on all the tips you gave me, especially on using the pledge & not using the LA's mop and shine. Pledge worked great Thank you Nick
I love it dude. That came out looking awesome. Totally Awesome. Haha. I will stay tuned for the foil. Keep up the great work my friend. I have saved this one to my favorites list as well. Peace man.
Chris, thanks a bunch for the detailed videos, hopefully I´ll be able to replicate the finish because I´ve heard a lot about this but was unsure of how to go about it.
I'm still around just not building right now due to life lol. One day soon I hope to get the rusty nuts model shop up and running again. Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.
Great video Chris! I've been watching all your vids, esp. the ones on acrylic paints, as I do my first acrylic paint job. Thx for all the help and great advice. I can't wait to show you pics of the finished product on FB!
Hi Chris, Quick question. How long do you wait to rub out and polish the future or LA Mop and Shine? Thanks! Hope all is well, no vids lately? Jack from JacksHobbyHUt
This might be a really ignorant question. But... Is clear coat only for acrylic paint. I am starting to build model kits and I have been using enamel paints since right now it's what I'm comfortable with. Any help on getting that clear polished pro look on enamel painted model kits would be greatly appreciated! (love your videos by the way)
Hi Chris my name is Ernie I'm a long time modeler but new at the spray paint was wondering if you can tell me why I keep getting orange peels. I do wash them with Dawn dish soap and I let them dry overnight before I paint then the next morning I will take and brush them off real good set them in the Sun for 30 minutes along with the paint and the first coat comes out really good but the second coat is showing orange peels
Hey Chris, another quick question. Where is a good llsfe to get the small dispenser bottles to hold thinner and future like what you've got? Tired of keeping small jars and using a dropper. Are those controllable enough to control the flow? Like if I'm wanting to measure in drops, do they flow slow enough?
+Fox thre3 custom models Sorry for delay on this. I had it go to spam fro some reason. Here are links to where I got my bottles. www.amazon.com/Squeeze-Condiment-Open-Tip-Polyethylene-Durable/dp/B009D9Z7TS/ref=sr_1_31?ie=UTF8&qid=1454715758&sr=8-31&keywords=1+ounce+plastic+squeeze+bottles www.amazon.com/30mL-LDPE-Plastic-Bottle-Childproof/dp/B013IJ98MK/ref=sr_1_33?ie=UTF8&qid=1454715857&sr=8-33&keywords=1+ounce+plastic+squeeze+bottles Keep in mind you can get different sizes as well.
Great video, Chris, very helpful...I like the Novus system as well, but wondered why you don't like to use their finishing polish, the #1, the one that is almost like water...just wanted your thoughts on it...
Thanks Tommy. I do use the #1 Novus. It is a clean and shine though. Not a protectant. The wax covers the paint and gives a clear medium for light to shine through onto the paint of which reflects back through the wax amplifying the shine, gloss and wet finish. Wax also protects from dust scratching the actual paint. The clean and shine is used after everything is done as it wipes away any oils and dust and brings a clean shine to the car. Not a protectant though. It also deters dust particles from landing on the kit as well. So two totally different uses for each product.
Thanks for the explanation, I knew about the #1's dust deterrent properties, but didn't know that it was a protectant...thanks for the info, again, I learned another new today!!! :-)
Thanks bud but I just pass on what I have been taught myself. Many, many people have given me tips and tutorials. All I did was go and try them and find out what works fore me. The beard is thankful.
Hi Chris Love your videos and I need your help. I use Pledge as my clear coat. I forgot to turn down the volume on my flow and now I have a drip that has dried after my first coat. Can you wet sand the drip out without damaging the paint or am I screwed and have to strip and start over? Hope you see this soon as I am waiting for advice. 😀
Chris Chapman I have another question, how long do you wait until you polish and wax your acrylic painted model cars. I've heard some people wait 2 weeks to a month or 2. I started to polish and wax the next day after clear coating(pledge) and it worked good on my hood but the rest of the car stayed dull. Now I'm still using novus 2 & 3 and then maguiars yellow wax(26). What would you do. Any information you can give me Thank you Nick
Thanks for the vid. You've answered the question I've been looking for. I was curious if you could use that system on acrylic top coats. I was to afraid to try it on my model. You say that you can also do it on enamel top finish coats as well. Now you've up many doors for me. People only talk about doing that style system with lacquer. Thanks for your experience.
+MrGagoo So glad this has helped. It is a great system. You can also go with MeGuire's Ultimate Polish and yellow wax and get the same results for a fraction of the cost. Good luck and please share if you would like.
Mac B Nope, no wet sanding. With the acrylics water will turn them into little balls of rubber. I only polished on this one. If it comes out uneven I have dry sanded before with 2000 grit paper until whole model is dull. Then polish and wax. Thanks for stopping by. I hope this helps.
I use aluminum foil for my Chrome trim. Even if I used by I would do this so that it keeps the window trim clean and in scale. If you add the foil on painted areas it makes the trim thicker then normal and be out of scale. This easy I can just put it on bare plastic.
question, how long does the future have to dry before you use the novus? also ,before clearing with future, how would you remove some dust particles in your paint without destroying the paint? acrylics don't like to be sanded..thank you
Chris Chapman I'm folowing your steps on how to polish your model car but when I use the novus 2 & 3 its taking off my paint and the same goes for my maguiars wax(26). Its actually making my car dull. Now I'm using CREATEX AIRBRUSH PAINT. I haven't tried your method yet on acrylic paint. Do you have any tips or information that could help me or do you think its just the CREATEX PAINT Thank you Nick
is there a difference between Novus or any other polish (say, car polish/wax etc)? And will others counteract the acrylics on the paint? Thanks again for the updates
There are differences but to be honest not many. 3M has a polishing and rubbing compound that work great. Remember a mild or fine grit compound should be all you need. If you have to use a heavy grit then something id going on wrong. MaGuire's has a great combo compound as well. I do like MeGuiar's polish as it works great on my Harleys and so I use it on my models. Then any good yellow or carnauba wax will work. Again I use MeGuiar's as it is what I use on my Harley's. I use the Novus because I bought it a long time ago and need to use it lol. I will probably go with 3M brand as I can get it locally and a lot more for the same price.
Chris Chapman I clear coated my acrylic model with LA's mop & shine but its a little rough. What would be my next step. Should I dry sand it with like a 6000 grit & then add another layer of my clear coat or does the polishing with novus & maguiars wax make it smooth. 8ve paint my car with all acrylic paint. Any tips that could help me. In going for a show car shine look. Thank you Nick
Unfortunately, Totally awesome mop and shine changed their formula so you don't get a shine anymore. It is great for flat clear though. However, I just use pledge floor care for my clear now. You can dry sand but polishing usually works well enough unless it is real bad.
Chris Chapman Thank you very much. I am a beginner wanting to build the best cars im capable of. I like your videos very much and your cars are great looking. Thank you so much for replying to my questions Thank you Nick
Glad to have you aboard bud. Remember mistakes will happen. That is how we learn and improve. I hope you will share your work as you go. I love seeing others builds as well as building. Good luck my friend.
Thanks Chris, I am going to do my decals and a few more coats of clear and we'll see. I plan on using your method for waxing so I am confident the results will be great. Thanks for all your help and advice. I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY!!! JOe
@@douglaspedersen1536 Should not have been a reaction but the only time I had this happen is when I used heat to cure it. It got hard on the outside But soft on the inside causing fingerprints.
@@ChrisChapman195 Okay, thanks Chris. I just put another coat of pledge on and will see what happens. This happened once before. I had used a craft paint I got at Michaels and had a similar problem. I chalked it up to the craft paint. I'm in Canada and our Dollarama doesn't sell the A1 Awesome floor polish so it is Pledge or nothing. Maybe it is the Pledge not liking the Tamiya ? Will see. Again, thanks for your time.
@@ChrisChapman195 Hi Chris, just a quick follow up to my sticky Pledge issue. I put 2 more coats of Pledge on and as they dry everything is becoming less sticky so my thought is that the answer to my issue was that you have to build up layers of pledge to get above the paint and create a dry shell.
after listening just the first 10 minutes of you talking about things that are irrelevant to your video...needless to say I...fell .zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz asleep
This might be a really ignorant question. But... Is clear coat only for acrylic paint. I am starting to build model kits and I have been using enamel paints since right now it's what I'm comfortable with. Any help on getting that clear polished pro look on enamel painted model kits would be greatly appreciated! (love your videos by the way)
+ExisteDiosInc Hey there bud. When it comes to clear coat paint it depends on some types of paint of what you want it to look like. Other types it's crucial to have it on it. First off with enamel and lacquer based paints you do not have to put a clear on it if you spray a gloss color. It takes seven or so days or a day in a dehydrator to full gas out(dry). If it has the shine you want then you can leave it. If you want it shinier that is where clear coat comes into play. However to save time and money from putting a clear on it you can always wet sand the paint until it is completely dull. Then use different grits to make it slowly get a slight shine back. This way you know it is as smooth as possible. You also want to do this with clear coat. Now clear or not use a polishing compound to lightly rub the model bringing back more shine. The n use a car wax to wax it like the bottle says and KABAM! You have a beautiful shiny model to be proud of. When it comes to acrylic water based paints be it craft or model produced you HAVE to put a clear coat over the top to seal it in. If not the paint will rub off while you handle it. One thing to take note on is a flat paint will lay down smoother then a gloss paint. With most gloss paint like enamel and lacquer based paints you need to sand before clear to get them as smooth as possible. With a flat acrylic you can just put a clear over the paint and if you use pledge floor care you can just polish and wax. If you use an enamel or lacquer you will need to sand it smooth then polish and wax. Glad to have you following. Please don't be afraid to share you builds as I like to look and watch as much s I do building them. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the video...it's still helping modelers make shiny models and save money almost a decade after it's production!
Thanks man. Glad it's still useful.

Great tutorial. I'm 61 and just starting to model again. Last tome I did it I was 10 or 11. GREAT INFO
Thanks so much and welcome back. I how something in my videos will help.
Hello Chris.
I have been watching your acrylic and floor polish videos for a while.

Thank you very much Gary. Aluminum foil coming up next.
Super end results with the polishing compounds,man! Good to see another modeler using easy to buy products for model work.

Thank you Jaysen. Just need coffee then I will start.
Nice work. I’ve taken a break from plastic and now doing diecast. Hopefully using your paint methods will give me the same results. Thanks
Right on. I hope it works for you. Let me know how it goes please.
It's amazing what you can do with these acrylics and dollar store mop and shine! Great job buddy kutgw
Thanks man.

Awesome work Chris ...Thanks for taking the time..all the money i save on paint i can buy more kits ..lol
That's the whole idea of these. Is to save money. You can buy a whole new kit for what it costs for other paint products.

Very true ..that '56 t-bird l did had about 35 bucks of model masters paint into it.
great finish, thanks for posting

So I followed all your steps and the polish destroyed the clear coat and paint job?
How long do you let the clear coat cure before polishing? I seem to be taking off paint around edges of a hood that I'm testing on.

Great video fella! So you wet sanded before polishing right?

Thank you

I thin apple barrel moccasin brown with washer fluid then spray or brush it on. Then seal with a dull coay or flat clear.

Cool. Thanks Chris. I'll have a look at both.
Which pledge are you using now I used pledge revive it floor gloss and i had a great shine till I went to polish it the novus 2&3 took the clear off
I am using the Pledge Floor Care with the boots on them. I have heard that Revive works great though. I plan to use the revive when mine runs out.

working on nascar model brushed on pledge floor was but not quite the shine i would like how do i get to the shine you have on this car

I order mine from Micro Mark online small tool store.
Ok thank you
Hey Chris is that wax Canuba do you know ?

I use Meguiar's Mirror Glaze HI-Tech yellow wax #26.
Thanks Chris, I am going to do my decals and a few more coats of clear and we'll see. I plan on using your method for waxing so I am confident the results will be great.
Thanks for all your help and advice. I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY!!!

wher can you buy the novus polishes
we have the same name god bless you.
I used Pledge over top of Tamiya flat acrylic paint and the pledge will only dry to a sticky or tacky finish. Any thoughts ?
Did you happen to use a hair dryer or dehydrator to help dry faster?
No, I let it dry overnight and the brushed on the pledge. Only had this problem on the Tamiya paint. Not on the Createx paint
@@douglaspedersen1536 Should not have been a reaction but the only time I had this happen is when I used heat to cure it. It got hard on the outside But soft on the inside causing fingerprints.
@@ChrisChapman195 Okay, thanks Chris. I just put another coat of pledge on and will see what happens. This happened once before. I had used a craft paint I got at Michaels and had a similar problem. I chalked it up to the craft paint. I'm in Canada and our Dollarama doesn't sell the A1 Awesome floor polish so it is Pledge or nothing. Maybe it is the Pledge not liking the Tamiya ? Will see.
Again, thanks for your time.
@@ChrisChapman195 Hi Chris, just a quick follow up to my sticky Pledge issue. I put 2 more coats of Pledge on and as they dry everything is becoming less sticky so my thought is that the answer to my issue was that you have to build up layers of pledge to get above the paint and create a dry shell.
What is the name of the clothes that you use ?
Micro fiber cloth. You can get a bag of 50 on Amazon pretty cheap.
where can i buy the novus and meguiars wax at
where do you get your novas
I get it from www.micromark.com/?ns_md=cpc&ns_sc=Yahoo_Gemini_Ads&ns_cn=WK_Brand

Glad you were able to get a nap in. I can't do that no matter how I try. :)
This might be a really ignorant question. But... Is clear coat only for acrylic paint. I am starting to build model kits and I have been using enamel paints since right now it's what I'm comfortable with. Any help on getting that clear polished pro look on enamel painted model kits would be greatly appreciated! (love your videos by the way)
+ExisteDiosInc Hey there bud. When it comes to clear coat paint it depends on some types of paint of what you want it to look like. Other types it's crucial to have it on it. First off with enamel and lacquer based paints you do not have to put a clear on it if you spray a gloss color. It takes seven or so days or a day in a dehydrator to full gas out(dry). If it has the shine you want then you can leave it. If you want it shinier that is where clear coat comes into play. However to save time and money from putting a clear on it you can always wet sand the paint until it is completely dull. Then use different grits to make it slowly get a slight shine back. This way you know it is as smooth as possible. You also want to do this with clear coat. Now clear or not use a polishing compound to lightly rub the model bringing back more shine. The n use a car wax to wax it like the bottle says and KABAM! You have a beautiful shiny model to be proud of. When it comes to acrylic water based paints be it craft or model produced you HAVE to put a clear coat over the top to seal it in. If not the paint will rub off while you handle it. One thing to take note on is a flat paint will lay down smoother then a gloss paint. With most gloss paint like enamel and lacquer based paints you need to sand before clear to get them as smooth as possible. With a flat acrylic you can just put a clear over the paint and if you use pledge floor care you can just polish and wax. If you use an enamel or lacquer you will need to sand it smooth then polish and wax. Glad to have you following. Please don't be afraid to share you builds as I like to look and watch as much s I do building them. Hope this helps.
