Spaz Stix Red Mirror Chrome Airbrush Ready Polycarbonate Paint 2oz SZX10030

Spaz Stix Red Mirror Chrome Airbrush Ready Paint creates a highly reflective red chrome effect on clear polycarbonate RC car and truck bodies. Designed to be sprayed on the inside of a clear body shell, the colour shines through the polycarbonate to produce its distinctive mirror-like red finish.

The paint comes pre-thinned and ready to spray directly through a suitable airbrush. For correct internal polycarbonate application, Red Mirror Chrome must be backed with Spaz Stix Ultimate Black Backer for Mirror Chrome. The black backer is essential for developing the intended reflective appearance while also sealing and protecting the chrome layer.

FAQ

Does Spaz Stix Red Mirror Chrome SZX10030 need to be thinned? No. It is supplied pre-thinned and ready to pour directly into a suitable airbrush.

Is Red Mirror Chrome designed for polycarbonate RC bodies? Yes. Spaz Stix specifically formulates Red Mirror Chrome for clear polycarbonate RC car and truck bodies.

Does Red Mirror Chrome require a backing colour? Yes. This is critical for correct application. Spaz Stix states that Red Mirror Chrome must be backed with Ultimate Black Backer for Mirror Chrome, either SZX10200 or SZX10209, to achieve the intended reflective appearance and durability.

What happens if I do not use the black backer? Spaz Stix states that without the required black backing coat, the Red Mirror Chrome can wipe away easily and will have little durability.

Which paint goes on first inside a clear RC body? Spray Red Mirror Chrome onto the inside of the clear polycarbonate body first. Once the chrome layer has been correctly applied and dried, apply Ultimate Black Backer behind it.

Can Red Mirror Chrome be applied externally? Yes, but the process is different. For external applications or surfaces other than polycarbonate, Spaz Stix specifies applying Ultimate Black Backer first, followed by Red Mirror Chrome and then Ultimate Clear Coat.

Which clear coat should be used for external applications? Spaz Stix specifies Ultimate Clear Coat SZX10900 or SZX10909. The clear should be applied in very light coats with sufficient drying time between applications.

Why must the clear coat be applied lightly? Applying too much clear coat at once can dull the chrome effect. Several very light applications are preferable when protecting an externally painted surface.

Will external application look as reflective as painting inside clear polycarbonate? Not necessarily. Spaz Stix notes that achieving the full reflective qualities of the paint is more difficult with external applications. Testing the complete paint system on a scrap piece first is recommended.

Important Notes

• For internal clear polycarbonate application, Red Mirror Chrome must be backed with Spaz Stix Ultimate Black Backer SZX10200 or SZX10209
• Failure to use the required black backer can result in poor durability and the chrome layer wiping away
• For external or non-polycarbonate applications, apply Ultimate Black Backer first
• External applications must be sealed with Spaz Stix Ultimate Clear Coat SZX10900 or SZX10909
• Apply external clear coat only in very light coats with adequate drying time between coats
• Heavy clear-coat application can dull the reflective chrome effect
• The full mirror effect can be more difficult to achieve on externally painted surfaces
• Always test the complete paint process on a scrap piece before painting the final project
• Mix the paint thoroughly before and during use
• Use with appropriate ventilation and follow all safety instructions on the product label
