Aerobert 2147 Posted April 20, 2019 Good Morning, Currently I'm painting the Chevy Blazer body shell for my Bullhead. The Body is paint in translucent yellow and purple. I have two different colours for backing, PS-12 silver and PS-48 anodized aluminium. Which colour should I choose? Has anyone done something similar and made some pictures. Unfortunately I have disposed the lexan scrap of the body shell. So I have no material for testing. Any recommendations? Greetings, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Truck Norris 2237 Posted April 20, 2019 PS-48 is intended to give a satin chrome like appearance. Google"ps48" and you'll see what I mean. It's very thin and must be backed with black so it's unsuitable for what you need to do. Go with the PS-12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyChang 1814 Posted April 20, 2019 PS12 silver will be a 1 shot affair; however it’ll darken light colours you back it with compared to say PS1 white. PS48 Anodised Aluminium can be put behind translucent colours to give a “candy” effect; it’ll need backing with PS5 Black. Similar 1-shot result can be had with Bright Silver PS41 too, so that’s easier 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
