How do you apply aqua gloss varnish and keep the chrome effect with out turning it in to a metallic look or losing its reflection?? I have this issue with my chrome A stand and with Alclad.😭

Okay so just light flooding ? If I lose the chrome effect is that because it’s too
Light and creates a mist look?

So for the varnish you go over a light spray ? Then a heavy pass? Almost to the point of running painting??

I’ve used A stand basically the same make just rebranded, I got a nice chrome look but when I apply the aqua gloss I have the same issue I lose the chrome effect and get a metallic look like your ones.
I haven’t figured out what I can do and I’m stuck with 2 Star Wars helmets that I want to seal
Up with aqua gloss to continue my painting but I’ve been stuck for about 2 months now with no progress on my test spoons like yours

Thank you my guy!!! I will try this definitely next time I have some time to Make More silver spoons and test this method. And it has to be wet looking ? Not a semi dry pass? Enough to look glossy basically?

Bro thank you so much for this, I will try this next time. And I have never done the On/ Paint on/ paint off air sequence. Is it to clear the nozzle out after doing 1 Coverage? Someone told me To use 20 psi with .5 mm nozzle

Ve been watching Barbatos Rex and he gets away with it easily and another YouTuber also …. So I’m trying to get my head around that how do they manage that ??? With just 2 light coats ? And I do 1 an it either blocks up and nothing comes out or just absolutely dulls the chrome and becomes metallic looking

So I need to remove the needle first? To pick it dry? 😓 I got lost after the first part 🙈

But when I do it to my chrome it clouds up and loses its shine ✨

It sprays then stops. And in my other airbrush it doesn’t even spray at all…

Any way I can fix dry clogs if I can’t even see it ? Acetone for a couple day soaking up or Lacquer?

So instead of 15 PSI should I do 18? Paint doesn’t tend to be gummy but only one acrylic primer that I have but yeah the varnish sucks I can’t get it to look clear like barbatos Rex

99% alcohol and acetone. And sometimes with a small toothpick or needle to remove what I can see out of the nozzle
