Dupli-Color (EMC200007-6 PK) Red Anodized Metalcast Paint - 11 oz. Aerosol

This stuff is amazing. I use it on alot of my automotive metals. I've even tried it out on 3d prints in the past with plastic adhesion promoter. I see some reviews where people say it runs too easy....yes it is thin because it has to be to give that shine from the metal or base coat. You have to be patient and dust it. If you miss a spot while dusting then just wait the ten minutes and dust it again. Do not spray a heavy coat! If your painting metal and it starts to dull out then once done painting, bake in the oven around 80-100 degrees for at least 30 minutes. The color will come back. It dulls easily with humidity or too much uncured heavy paint under the next coat. For instance, my red was turning a dull purplish. I finished painting and baked in the oven and the color came back better than ever afterwards. I highly recommend baking. It enhances the color and shine while making it more permanent. I also shoot gloss high heat ceramic coating on mine and then a color coat over the ceramic. It seems to withstand heat alot better. This stuff really is a good paint if done correctly. Just have patience with it is the key and bake it once done....do not bake plastic though lol. Idk you may be able to but I haven't tried that out. Ive posted some of my new pieces I've done. In the past I've painted exhaust pieces and still today, six months later, the color is still holding up well on a motorcycle exhaust.

Turns clear hummingbird feeders into red-tinted (which people prefer to adding dye to the nectar). I gave mine two light coats, and they look like they were made that way. (I've also used orange-copper anodized to make lightbulbs more old-school "warm" color, which is popular today. I wouldn't have thought to use red anodized if I hadn't done that before.).

works well but gotta use a lotta coats, used it on a chrome water bottle, looks great

Works fantastic on metallic surfaces; I would say this paint is more like a tint and is very thin, so apply in light thin coats until desired color/darkness is achieved. can use a metallic paint like gold or silver to make a surface have the required look it needs to really shine. I have used this for painting razor dirt bike frames and plastic, and used it for painting 3D printed helmets and props. My only complaints are that the paint will run very easily, its more like a tint so you need to apply in very thin layers. It also chips really easily, more so on metal surfaces than 3d prints. I have tried adding a clear coat to help prevent chipping but the clear coat makes no difference.

I used this color along with 2 others to repaint my wind spinners as after awhile the paint does show wear. Well, this metal spray paint is great and covered it just right.

Application worked well for me. You must know how to spray "candy" colors. They must be flat surfaces.

DO NOT BUY!! I would give negative stars if I could. The paint can i received was clearly left in the sun and in the weather and through a lot of temperature changes. The cap was half orange and half yellow because it is faded from sun damage. Shaking the paint did nothing because just brownish watery thin liquid came out... and did not stick or show any color. The paint was completely ruined, but returns are not allowed so I'm out my time and $20. Horrible purchase. DO NOT BUY THIS PAINT!!! I would post a photo, but the paint that I sprayed literally didnt show any color so there is nothing to take a photo of!

I don't know if i got the wrong color or if this just low quality paint. I followed the directions fine, this is multiple coats on a metallic surface and it just looks red and not like anodized copper. It runs very easy but also dries quickly. Definitely not worth 20 bucks but its to late to go back now.
