Does this stuff dull the look of the reflective metallic bits in metallic paint?

My car is super black and not metallic. However, I will tell you that it works great on my car and hides all minor scratches. The shine remains. I was skeptical when I bought it, but have been very satisfied. Reviews of this item are very positive.

It restored the shine on my copper pans. After using them they get darker, this turns them back to shiny copper

No it does not shine like polished carbon fiber. It does appear to be somewhat semi gloss from a distance, with the right light. Also if you overheat it then it also loses some of its luster.

Just installed one and it is more of a matte finish. It is not shiney at all. I think it's very sharp looking, but more of a dull black with a slightly rough texture.

I mean to an extent it does darken it. But it's not really "darkening" the paint. It's just giving it more of a pop. Kinda like a black shirt that's faded next to a new black shirt. Waxing it is the new black shirt. I hope that makes sense

Please disregard my earlier response. As far as I can tell Nev 'R Dull uses chemicals, not abrasives. I use it on cymbals and chrome all of the time and I've yet to see any scratching like you can see with even 0000 steel wool. . In the Navy they use it for all "bright work" brass and the like. It's great stuff but use it in a well ventilated area.

Yes it gives you a nice smooth glossy finish.Great for applying decals so they don't silver

Yes....The Permatex Rust Treatment works great. It blackens the rusted metal and is ready for painting. I have been using this brand for over 25years. It has good results. A very good primer for painting.

In my opinion I dont believe it can withstand everyday use, this paint is aim towards hobby model kits and R/C hobby cars, it requires a prepared surface of highly black gloss paint follow by airbrushing light increments of this paint to give it a mirror finish, but after applying the mirror paint, any color or clear coat applied to the mirror paint will cause it to become dull or a matt finish -- I suggest looking at other online retailers to find DIY gold studs

No peeling paint will expose primer or metal, this kit will not help that. It will however, brighten fading/sun damaged surface paint and mask minor surface scratches.

Yes it will give it a polished look. Depending on how bad dull it is, you may have to do it fairy often for a time.

I have used this on many different surfaces: plastic, wood and metal. The only place it wore off from was a highly used doorknob. I don't think primer would have made a difference, maybe if I had roughed the knob first with something like steel wool, to remove the shiny brass finish before I painted it would not have rubbed off as much...

This product is more like a plastic coating than PAINT. It goes on much thicker then regular spray can paint. It's also a little harder to get a smooth even finish on small stuff. It is a solid color enamel that is pleasing to the eye. Ahhhh, some reflectors are required for safety? Anyway. Spray a scrap piece of plastic or cardboard and put it against the other trim before you paint the real thing... it will not reflect through the paint... But it's not the FLAT black that is popular in our car club.

The MAAS metal polish was able to cut through and remove very old buildups of dirt and grime on several metals including tin, nickle, and copper plate; other products I tried did not do well on all of these different metals. It took very little polish to accomplish the job with little effort. Eight weeks have passed since I finished this project and the metals show no signs of dulling, or tarnish; this cannot be said for other products I've used on other projects. This tells me that the polish protects in addition to cleaning and polishing.

I think so. I have used it in a number of places on my car and my motorcycle and have not seen any evidence of any crazing or dulling of surfaces. If I recall correctly, Consumer Reports said this is the only cleaner you need for dirty greasy areas. It is a "go to" product that replaces the need for for a half dozen special cleaners.

I would like to say, Yes, because it has the dull look to the metal, not the shiny chrome look.

No, it's completely matte with a very very slight texture. You'd have to get a sealant to make it shiny.
