Metalcast Anodized Coating, Purple, 11 oz

If you've ever wanted that high-end, anodized aluminum look without paying for professional dipping, the Dupli-Color Metalcast Anodized Coating in Purple is exactly what you need. It turns ordinary chrome or shiny metal surfaces into brilliant, transparent colored masterpieces. For the best results, remember that this is a "metal cast" system. If you aren't spraying over chrome or bare polished metal, grab the Metalcast Adhesion Promoter first to act as a silver base—it makes the purple pop like crazy. It’s an easy, affordable way to make your car or DIY project look like it just came out of a custom shop.

Great product. Performs as advertised but the user must understand, this is NOT a typical, opaque enamel spray paint. Because it is a transparent paint, multiple coats must be applied VERY thinly with adequate flash time between coats. Initial coats must be extremely thin. If you can see full color after 1 or 2 coats, it WILL run. Color must be built slowly. It took me 5 thin coats flashing with a heat gun between coats to achieve the color depth I was looking for, and it did deliver the results I wanted. My shop was a bit chilly (+- 62Deg F) so I pre-warmed the surface with the heat gun. Surface must be cleaned well for proper adhesion. I was applying it to a raw aluminum surface that I had engine turned the surface and cleaned with Acetone just prior to painting. Looking forward to using it on other projects.

Gave me the finish I was hoping for. This was painted over a silver metallic, the skulls are a flat black. Started with several lights coats and as I went I got a little slower with each pass. I use the whole can for the coverage I wanted, could have went another coat or more but it looks nice. Keep shaking can as you go. Coverage over light colors will take time and more paint, remember that. Video is after final spray. Picture is after 1st spray

Works fantastic on metallic surfaces; I would say this paint is more like a tint and is very thin, so apply in light thin coats until desired color/darkness is achieved. can use a metallic paint like gold or silver to make a surface have the required look it needs to really shine. I have used this for painting razor dirt bike frames and plastic, and used it for painting 3D printed helmets and props. My only complaints are that the paint will run very easily, its more like a tint so you need to apply in very thin layers. It also chips really easily, more so on metal surfaces than 3d prints. I have tried adding a clear coat to help prevent chipping but the clear coat makes no difference.

It's a great paint. Looks very good over a metallic base. If you really want that candy pop, use a gold paint base. Prep it right, follow the instructions on applying it, and finish it off with a 2k clear(has a hardener in it) and you'll get professional results with good durability. My mini bike is on its 3rd year of this color. I just added a stretch and needed to blend it in.

I had an idea in my head to make my own “candy blue” color using a silver base coat and a top coat for duplicolor metal paint. Pleased to say it turned out incredible. The base coat was rustoleum 2 n 1 primer and base coat metallic silver/aluminum. Top coat was roughly four light coats of the metalcast anodized blue. The results were incredible if I say so myself. But it’s very important you follow directions and stick with very light coats. I got too greedy on an earlier attempt and had to strip it all off and start over. The color is so deep and metallic in person, you’d swear it was painted over a chromed VC. Pictures ruin the depth a bit, but overall..super pleased. Give it a try!

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.

Way better than I suspected not a lot of reviews others do are accurate poorly admited or people may have skipped proper prep work for this product but this orange copper metalcast is freaking awesome I bought new wheels and painted them no non sticking issues the shine is absolutely beautiful. Easy to use with the proper prep well worth the dollars and the smell of the paint smelled good I love the smell of good paint mixed reviews only happen without proper procedures if didn't work for you it's not the paint product it's your actions if prep work is utilize correctly if skipped prep work your not going get the results this product promotes

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!
