I've messed around a bit with aluminum and a clear. While I didn't delve to deeply, it was mostly a failure in my opinion. From what I was doing, it would be more beneficial as a base coat. I'll dig around and see if I can find a picture somewhere.

This is the stuff I was experimenting with.
Very dangerous and not recommended!

Here's how it looked after spraying. Not the greatest of pics but it's all I have.

Looking at it though does make me think it warrants another look. That was sprayed using a PreVal sprayer which wasn't exactly the best tool for that job. Makes me wonder how it would turn out with a hvlp gun. One thing I do know, you're not gonna want it as a topcoat. It would be serious hot spotting.

But who knows. :dunno: It might work with proper ratios and maybe even another clear matte topcoat. It's definitely within the realm of difficult mixes.

Ok, then I'll just put a tic in that box....done.

Robert,

I wouldn't call it done. I'd call it started but not finished.

Robert,

Yep. That's silver. It doesn't utilize any silver though. Just mica and faux glaze. I think that while the mix does ok, it could be done a lot better with proper ingredients. Now that we're venturing down the artist aisle, it'll only be a matter of time before we find something much more suitable. :dontknow:
