Intro

Hello all.

This is David from Sunward Hobbies and in today’s video we are going to be taking a look at one of our newest products that we brought into our inventory. These are Krylon spray paints. Uh we brought these in really out of necessity as it seems every day a new spray paint line is getting banned here in Canada.

I took a few examples of what we carry. A matte finish, a UV resistant gloss finish, a metallic bright gold, a Fusion All-in-One paint, Gloss Red Pepper, a Color Max paint and primer, flat black, and a spray adhesive. Well, Krylon is a versatile aerosol used mainly for DIY projects, crafts, and professional applications. So, it’s technically not really a hobby paint.

However, it can be used in this situation. Uh, many people who have used it have mentioned that it’s very thick and viscous. So, whatever you’re using, be sure you go on with a light hand. Since these are at heart made for professional applications, I’m expecting these to be very durable and tough, but we’ll find that out when we test them. Next one we’re taking a look at is Fusion All-in-One Paint and Primer. This is fast drying, has rust protection, and can be used on any surface. Now, this one is really for outdoor purposes.

I mean, rust protection. Are your models really going to get rusted? So, uh, this one I’m expecting to be a really tough paint. I’m expecting it to be quite thick as well. So, I’ll try to apply it as carefully as I can. It does mention that plastic is one of the surfaces you can use this on. And this also has to be sprayed in a well ventilated area. So, here we go.

So, looks pretty nice so far. I tried my best to go light with it, but uh even then it does look a little bit thick. Uh we’ll see how it looks when it’s fully dried, but uh not bad. So with the varnish coats on the matte one, that looked very good. You remember how glossy that was earlier? Now it’s at best satin. And that was just matte.

In conclusion, in comparison to Tamiya or Mr Color, it’s okay, but I mean there’s not many other options out there. Now, don’t get me wrong, from what I saw in my test of all these products, they are quite good. They seem to be very tough and durable. Uh the finish is pretty good.

Uh like I mentioned earlier, it really requires a steady hand. So apply this very carefully, as light as you can. And if you do that, these should be a good substitute for your beloved primers.
