I recently purchased a set of Deluxe Wheel Covers ( 3-D printed masterpieces from Shapeways , from @camaro69: 1971 Plymouth Hubcaps (UNPLAS5SQ) by camaro69 (shapeways.com) ) for my 1973 Duster project , and am now attempting to provide them with their correct finish ( the 1:1 parts are stamped stainless steel with a 'polished' finish ) .
The aerosol can of 'Stainless Steel' I'd purchased dried to a dull finish ( base / primer coat of Tamiya Light Grey Primer , aerosol ) . After letting them dry , I'd figured How about a silver Sharpie top coat ? Looked better , but... Even after applying Tamiya Black Panel Line Accent to the character lines of the wheel covers ( side note : the depth and precision of the parts from Rico are 100% flawless ) , the parts still lacked depth to them -- no sheen what-so-ever .
Does anyone make a Metalizer-type stainless steel paint ? Naturally , I'd expect to buff / polish the finish --- I just need some suggestions .
Thanks Much !
