Krylon Nickle Silver Paint

I painted the firewall for my 61 gmc 4x4 today with the Krylon Nickle Silver paint today and was really impressed with how it looks! my question is should I clear coat this or let it be? I wana have it all done before the cab goes back on, thanks!

Re: Krylon Nickle Silver Paint

could you post a pic after it is completely dry? if it is already and you like the look, go with it. I used some of that on an old lawnmower i tricked for a neighbor's kid. looked great while it was still tacky, but after it flashed, it only looked good. I shot it with rattle can clear, and it looked great again. the lawnmower was a poor man's 4 wheeler, as I took the deck off.

Re: Krylon Nickle Silver Paint

The Nickle Silver is a satin finish paint. Get some satin clear to spray over it.

Re: Krylon Nickle Silver Paint

I decided a few months ago that is what the color of my Burb's roof will be. The main portion will be Ford racing blue. It looks good ChevyFreak.

Re: Krylon Nickle Silver Paint

Great color for sure
I would have cleared it.
I have yet to find a silver in a spraybomb or brush on that doesn't come off on your fingers when rubbed.

Re: Krylon Nickle Silver Paint

I have used this Krylon paint line and it looks great but have had flaking off issues with it...prep it well and put a clear coat on it.
