ranma Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 When I bought the Motor Max '58 the Chrome side trim didn't look like chrome at all, And the car had no "carpet" ect. So I Molowtoed the Chrome trim, Used blue embossing powder for the carpet: and Black washed the grill, hub caps as well as paint the spare tire. I also painted the inside window cranks/door handles, as well as the engine bottom and pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) That looks great! Just replacing the "not-chrome" with shiny stuff makes a big difference. Here's a Maisto '55 Buick that had the same problem: dull gray trim that should have been chrome. On this one, the side trim and the bottoms of the windows are Bare Metal Foil. The trim around the windshield and back glass was done with Molotow Liquid Chrome. I'm working on a longer post with pics/descriptions of this one. I'm not as smart as ranma - I added embossing powder and lots of other interior detail, which can't even be seen.
