glockexe Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Just started looking at my 57 chevy and noticed some of the chrome parts need to be painted silver, primer, yes or no, another quick question, if your going to use tamiya paint on the body, can you use krylon primer, once again thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure which '57 Chevy kit you're building but the only trim part you might need to paint would be the rear side panels and they are polished aluminum.

JollySipper Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 If I had something that was plated and wanted to paint it, I would strip the chrome from it with Bleach, then prime and paint as usual.... DupliColor makes a really good sandable primer that comes in a rather large can that will work just fine with the Tamiya paints....... DupliColor products can be found at your local O'Rielly's or Advance Auto..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
