VHT Red Anodised spray paint, anyone tried it?

[TIB3300]

Morning all
has anyone ever used any of this ? And whats it like ?
Cheers

[Blue]

Not used that particular one but I've used the Dupli color version. It's basically a see through tinted lacquer that's not high gloss, looks fine on smaller items but like most aerosols it's probably not great for larger flat items.

cheers Blue, I will just buy the one and see

Can only find Dupli Color in US or available here with ridiculous postage costs. I haven’t used either, but didn’t seem much difference to me, when comparing Dupli v VHT

Yes thats what I am coming up with US only. It does seem that the Dupli-Color is shiner then the VHT though.

Yes its Metalcast I've used. Not found a UK supplier, even Dupli color UK don't list it. I used to get it via a US website that sent to the UK at very reasonable rates. Unfortunately, having searched for that site since has brought up nothing. I used to use it to tint headlights.

Ooow Ilike the green lights

Right I was expecting it to come out mat, nope came out quite shiny.

Anyhow here's my little experiment, using the STP can to try it on, first Silver plasti koat first then the red.
The problem is it come out way too heavy and thick, so it just looks like shiny red paint and not like the can top.
So I have a cunning plan.

Ive have let all the gas out of the VHT spray can and I am going take the paint out and to apply it with the spray gun, once thinned down.
I've already do a test by squirting some in the cap and thinning it with a good result and no reacting.

I can then control the thinness and the speed

[TIB3300]

Well you get a lot better controle once thinned and use a spray gun,used the same engine silver,

But thined the red by 70/ 30

Test piece turned out OK
