Use your touch up gun set for SUPER low spray with the alclad and you get a much more even coat. Looks great anyway :) Thanks for the video!

I am sure you by now know that buffing Alclad 2 with a soft cloth will make it look way better? It removes the glitter. You should have buffed, done a second pass, buffed again and then compared the two. I Always thought that the The alumaluster looks a bit more like polished aluminium than chrome. I think that both brands are very good. Thanks for your great videos.

The one reason I lean toward Alclad is that I can pick it up locally at the hobby store 2 blocks from work.

Nice to see the comparison. Thanks! The cost difference between the Alumaluster to Alclad is double where I am, and Alclad is definitely more accessible! Also, I think the comparison wasn't quite fair - one with HVLP and one with airbrush. And as others mentioned, the Alclad needs a little buffing after.

I feel like the Alclad didn’t get as good coverage. Looked like some black primer was still showing through? What do you recommend for non-mirror finish aluminum?

The alclad seemed to have more texture likely in part because it has more material and from a larger pattern gun. I wonder if that would polish smooth.

The same cost? Sure about that?

Love all the tips! What type of compressor do you use for the hvlp gun?

Try Greenstuff chrome, looks a little bit better than Alclad and it's tougher to scratch.

I'm interested in your paint booth set up. What components do you use?

Do you feel like the alclad is super thin and takes a ton to get a desirable coating? I’ve used the black chrome alclad quite a bit, and it feels like I blow through the bottles even on small parts

it does take a bit of material to get a bright coat. I mostly use alumaluster which is essentially the same price and I buy it by the pint or quart.

Do you use a top clear over either product? Can they be handled after they have dries, on either product? Thanks.

I didn't clear coat any of the parts. They lose some luster when you do. The surfaces are pretty stable and can be handled. They can wear off with use but you can re-apply the alclad or alumaluster over those areas to touch them up when needed.
