Ultra Grimm?

Hmmm ... (1) shouldn't have hair dryer the oils ... maybe (2) should have done a thinner oil wash (3) should have varnished before the oil.

The last point is the most surprising, but, I guess the cocktail of Metal Colour, Contrast, Game Colour, Moltow and other primers doesn't stick too well.

Testing CultureHustle's Mirror Paint on Barbie

(Originally posted Nov 25, 2021 on Patreon! Become a patron at patreon.com/pandorkful to catch updates early!)

I was pretty excited when culturehustle released a chrome-effect paint about a year or two ago, especially since they claimed it was heavy duty and able to be applied with a paintbrush as well as an airbrush. It took me awhile, but I was finally able to buy a bottle a couple months ago. Here's the results of my tests so far: this 90's Barbie leg has been left to dry for over a week-- even though the instructions on the culturehustle website say the paint should be dry within 24 hours, I've found that it needs much longer to fully dry/cure. Actually, even at a week I'm not 100% certain this is done drying.

This leg has roughly 1 coat of paint on it. In my tests, if you can find the right type of soft synthetic bristle brush it doesn't take much work to get a near perfect coat---this leg tho is pretty rough, as I hadn't yet found the right brush for this paint. Personally I'd recommend two coats, and using an airbrush if you have one--tho I am satisfied with the chrome effect even using a bristle brush. I'm not aiming for perfection, personally, so my results are pretty slap dash.

Comparing my slapdash leg vs some beat-up traditional chrome. The mirror paint is a little more dark and almost blueish tinted, I have touched up this guy's other leg with the mirror paint (it's still drying) and I gotta say the paint blends in really well. So expect the results from that test in a week. I suspect this paint would look it's best airbrushed, like I said.

Durability... This is the area I was the most concerned about, and the most hopeful for. Toy repair hobbyists have been using Moltow Liquid Chrome for touching up damaged plated chrome for several years now, and while that paint looks amazing when first applied, it has the downside of being very delicate--going dull/losing reflectivity with too much handling/time in general. Moltow Liquid Chrome can be sealed with a couple different kinds of clear coats, but the specific types can be difficult to find lately, and as far as I know must be applied with an airbrush. So that put me off buying a chrome pen/refill from Moltow for years, tho I did recently buy a refill bottle to do a comparison with the culturehustle mirror paint eventually. The mirror paint from culturehustle claims it doesn't need a clear coat, that it's durable to handle. So I've given those claims a bit of a test: first off, I rubbed my thumb on the upper thigh aggressively, results above. Sadly, the paint dulled and left a gray smudge on my finger. It doesn't show too well in photos, but it's a discouraging result after waiting over a week to touch this leg.

Secondly, I scratched at the leg with my fingernails. It doesn't show well in the photo above, but I was able to scratch through the paint. It took some force, however. So I'm a little more pleased with that result. In conclusion, I'm not sure if the paint just needs to cure for even longer than a week, or if it's just not as durable as the website claims it is. It's definitely something you'd want to apply to something you're not planning on touching often with your bare hands. Nonetheless, I have a fully coated doll currently drying that I'll show off in a week or two. It's going to be interesting to see how the paint holds up in tight joints--I kinda have raised hopes for that area of testing, to be honest. I'd also like to test heat-treating a doll body before applying mirror paint, to see if that helps with adhesion/durability. Things to explore later!
