Anodizing Paint

Mico · 12-23-03, 04:02 PM

First things first, I searched for this and couldn't find anything close to what I want.

I know a few people on here have use paints that make metals appear anodized. What are these, where can I get them, and how much are they?

The only stuff I have seen that gives that look is available in hobby stores for model building.

You should be able to find in automotive sections or stores.

The stuff I used is Dupli-Color Metalcast. It comes in two seperate cans, a silver metal flake base coat and a colored top coat. I used the blue, and it gave a nice deep saphire color.....mmmm.
They also had a red, yellow and green.

I got mine at Meijer's (only in a couple of states) in the automotive section, but if you look, you'll probably find it lots of places (chain stores mainly) that have automotive spray paints.
$4.29 for the blue can alone...

And hint hint for modders out there, it works to tint your plexiglass too, but a scratch would show through clear.

Great, thanks guys. Look like I'm in the market for some Dupli-Color, assuming I can get my case moddy all planned out.
