Duplicolor Metalcast paint

Has anyone tried this stuff yet? was thinking about trying it on a few little pieces, bezels, thru hull overboards...
Looking at some of the youtube stuff that guy's have posted looks pretty good and inexpensive.

Great stuff but has no strength to it. Kinda like laquer paint. Use the basecoat and finish with clear and it looks really good. Just don't hit it with anything. I used it on my old turnbuckles ( before I replaced everything with a down peddle setup). I am not sure the picture will show it.
Try it, you can always take it off.

Cool, thanks. I think I will try it. A lot of powder coat/anodizing is not in the budget this year. Like you said, "you can always take it off".

I've used this also and found it pretty good. I've used it over polished alloy which came up good. I have also used the basecoat but MY preference is to polish the metal first.
On both occasions I have then applied POR 15 (clear) this stuff was designed as a clear coating for wheels. It's great! Does not yellow, sets HARD but seems to have some 'give' and gas & other chemicals don't seem to affect it
Just my 02c for what it's worth

I was tinckering around with this stuff the last couple of day, had some free time and look how it turned out...

might look into some clear coat, this stuff seems a little weak.

I haven't seen the green before, only red, blue & purple.
Certainly looks different though

looks awesome! I'm getting a little addicted to this "rattle can" stuff.
