Hello All,

I was wondering what paint can I buy if I want to smoke the Infiniti symbols on the trunk. I saw a member do it on his IPL and looked really good. But I can't find a smoke color paint .

 

Duplicolor has a smoke colored paint in their metalcast line that's supposedly made to be sprayed on plastic chrome. Haven't tried it myself. Other people have used tint colored polycarbonate paint like model paint from Tamiya. Good luck

 

rod thanks man I used the google to find it and its fairly cheap! Once I get it in will take a pic....

 

I saw the same thread with the smoked symbols on the IPL. Let us know how your badges turn out!

 

I'm pretty sure he airbrushed it

 

Doggy I think you might be right, I tried to find the original post but cant find it....

 

plasti dip it!

 

Duplicolor has a product called shadow which gives the appearance of "Black Chrome". My friend tested it on the back of his chrome rims to test it out and it looked pretty sick. we're gonna do the rims with this. check it out.

Dupli-Color Shadow

 

I would plasti dip it but to dark. I have a OB color car so I still wanted the chrome look but just a bit darker. Also Tek If i ever have time to do this I will use that paint to do my Grill!!!

 

I saw the thread too, he did have an airbrush, and he used I think PPG automotive paint or something. I sent him 2 PM's about the process, but he never got back to me. I'm interested as well. His emblems were painted chrome black.

 

Has anyone tried the Duplicolor Shadow yet? Going to the store later and check if they have it. Need to do my emblems black chromed.

 

My original plan was to get those tail light smoke paint and then shoot clear over it. But those tail light smoke spray cans are hard to find.

 

Gentlemen, I'm pretty sure I can duplicate the "black chrome" appearance with a very over-reduced black basecoat and clearcoat. I will test it at my shop next week and post pics/updates for you guys. If all goes accordingly I will let you know how to do or get it done.

 

Nice...

would you offer this service for a fair price?

 

Yeah as long as I'm 100% satisfied with the final product. I can't sell something I'm not personally happy with. Let me run some tests on some emblems and ill let u guys know what's up
