Dupli-Color MC204-6 PK Metalcast Automotive Spray Paint - Purple Anodized Coating - 11 oz Aerosol Can Pack of 6

It may only be my situation but I looked at this metal cast smoke as a way to take my bright chrome "plastic clad" wheels down to a much darker shade to better match the "Night Runner" effect I'm going for without just going to a black wheel. Then I get the cans in the mail and the cap looks very much like the chrome already on my wheels! Well I have already replaced my original mirrors so I took one of them with the plastic "chrome" covers and figured it was time for a test run. Since this was only a test I spent only a little time with a degreaser wipe down and a very light sanding with 1000grit wet/dry sandpaper. I dropped on three light coats of gray sandable primer 10 minutes apart. (Note: Duplicolor says use their MC100 Metalcast Ground Coat under this instead of a standard primer) I waited 20 minutes and then did three light coats of the smoke 10 minutes apart (has a 1 hour flash time) and since this was not a wheel paint, I figured I'd cover the smoke with the Duplicolor clear wheel coating to protect it a little better. Again three light coats 10 minutes apart. First off, when the smoke goes on, it is in fact the color shown on the cap in the picture. Light coats start out looking spotty but after three light coats, it's dark and looks great. As advertised, this can be done at this point because you get nice metal look by itself. Second, if you do use a clear coat on top of the smoke be advised that when you first spray it on the smoke will immediately look like it is turning an almost white light gray and you think you've ruined it! Thankfully though if you walk away and let it dry for the same 10 minute interval and return, the smoke has also returned to its original dark color and once you put on three light coats you have a great looking dark smoke color with a great shine! As with most clear coats even though the can says two light coats followed by one medium coat stick with three light coats. I tried a "light" medium third coat and got some runs. It is very easy to do so stick to the light coats and it looks great. This Metalcast Smoke is great. I highly recommend this product.

Very good, paint no issues covers well good value

I used this today and it worked great. If you want a good looking blue on something you have. It is very easy to use and has a great finish that is very glossy on what i used it for. It’s the best priced for the quantity i seen on here. It covers well and works well on various things. Get you a can and check it out. 👍

Great Price Fast Shipping but not what I was expecting.. too much prep to do it right when painting plastic with this paint , No drips but terrible color nothing like the can shows.

This car spray paint sticks to the surface of the vehicle well. It dries quickly after application. It is overall easy to use and matches well with the vehicle's color.

Beautiful Paint

Where is the quality? I don't mean about the color, because the color is perfect. But why do I have to suffer through the fact that it will not stop spraying after i'm done? I had to yank the head off of the spray can to make it stop and even then, it kept spitting red paint everywhere. Amazing, perfect coverage, very beautiful bud.I don't need to get covered in paint when i'm using a spray can. I ask, where is the quality. I am literally typing this right now. As the can empties itself upside down without a nozzle on it, because it wouldn't stop spraying, but it also wouldn't stop spitting its paint out of it. I love the color. It coded perfectly. But I did not need to have my fingers covered along with everything else near me when I was trying to make it stop spraying. This is worse than 3m products. That literally stick to nothing but human skin. And ten years ago I would have spent half as much. I'm really really mad. But darn, the projects I was working on, look amazing.. I bought a second can that arrived yesterday. This can will not spray anything at all! If I could give zero stars, I would give zero stars. Thank you so much for and a half cans of paint that I cannot use.

The paint description is what I needed in terms of coloring - so thought I'd try it even with the relatively expensive cost (e.g. $14/can). The paint went on clean 2"x 2" steel tubing that had two coats of primer. In other words, I wouldn't expect many issues with coating. The instructions say to do two light coats 10 minutes apart and then a 'wet' coat. Followed the instructions. The first thing that was noticeable was the inconsistency of color as it was sprayed on. Could be the nozzle and fact that it was going on a narrow target. I figured that's why the two 'light' coats were recommended. Fine up to that point. BUT...when i sprayed the wet coat, all seemed fine until I did a check 5-10 minutes later and found a few spots that had runs. REALLY annoying....especially after following the instructions and doing the level of prep work I did. I waited a week to sand and knock down the runs - bought more paint in the interim (not happy about that) to make sure there was enough on the respray - and tried again. After MANY light coats - with a goal of making sure the redone sections were smooth, the same thing appears to have occurred. As I said above, this may be a nozzle issue. But, I doubt it. Given the amount of spray required to get full coverage, I think this is just the nature of the pain. And for the price paid, it makes the value of the paint in the low category. I can't honestly say if the paint is durable but I can say it's costing me WAY more than anticipated to get four furniture legs painted. Again....REALLY ANNOYING!

Super produit reproduit tres bien l'effet anodisé rouge. En application sur de l'aluminium polie grace a dupli color red effet anodisé rouge garantie.

This brand of paint is unquestionably. One of the best. The coat is fantastic put it over a mirror silver and you won’t believe your eyes to finish is extremely hard. Doesn’t fade in the sun doesn’t get any discolouration even on the toughest projects like outdoor metal ornaments just about every other paint I’ve ever used and big brand ones. Can’t hold up these two and you don’t need to clearcoat go for it as is.

I did not expect that it would give me exactly the color I was looking for.. I used it to spray the RB26 engine hood.. but I hope that the dye will not fly away due to the heat. I have not confirmed yet, but in general the color was wonderful.

Buena calidad

I absolutely love this product! I’m totally devastated that It is not going to be produced any more! Please pease please reconsider!
