That would probably work best if its in a pen since these parts are so small def gonna look into that. I bought some alclad II chrome to try in my airbrush so maybe ill just use that on my other 1/25 scale trucks im going to start soon..thanks for the tip!

They come in 3 sizes, 1mm, 2mm and 4mm. The smallest would work the best for real small stuff. If you thought of chroming the radiator shell I would go with the larger ones to reduce the number of passes required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo8v92 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Chromed everything i can think of at the moment. Glued the rear wheels on and lost my front axle so i guess ill have to look for some rod to fit the front wheels.....   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince66 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Did you have to primer or anything for the chrome pens to stick to the part's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the heavier you put it on the more it looks like a mirror. I also painted the wheels gloss black first to see if it helped and it doesnt seem as bright as when i just put it on bare plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince66 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Thanks looks good. Reason I ask is the Ho trucks I do are not chromed or the chrome is so thick most the detail is hidden. Again thanks much appreciated. Just got a 1mm & 4mm Molotow pens Edited March 20, 2019 by NothingAsFineAsaW9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man trucks almost done just need to paint marker lights, and get some string for the cables. The peg board is from a company called wall control. Awsome product and they sell all different size panels with different hooks, shelfs, clamps. I got my setup on ebay for 70 bucks shipped i think..came with 3 panels and a bunch of hooks, holders, and shelves. Great deal for sure.
